Memphis Grizzlies
Bulls continue to pursue the leader of the Eastern Conference and they are doing it pretty well, however, Brooklyn does not even think to concede the first place. This season Billy Donovan’s charges are showing a fantastic game and all thanks to the fact that the head coach quickly rallied the guys. Chicago won four straight wins as they dealt with the Lakers (115:110), Houston (133:118), Indiana (113:105) and beat Atlanta (130:118) in the last standoff. DeMar DeRozan and company will meet again with the Hawks, but this time at the home arena. In short, the Bulls will be the favorite again.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers have finally ended their losing streak. On the eve of the “lake” defeated “Houston” (132:123). This victory cannot be credited to the Los Angeles team. The Rockets played in a limited lineup. Despite this, the “rockets” managed to give battle to the favorite. The Lakers are approaching the confrontation with Memphis with huge personnel losses. Too many players will not be able to participate in the meeting. Especially, the Vogel team will miss Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Nunn.
Prediction
The Lakers have one of the main players in the ranks, LeBron James. But his efforts will not be enough for the final victory. If Morant and Bane manage to defeat the Phoenix, then they will probably cope with the crisis of the Lakes. Most likely, the victory of the "bears" will be confident. Our prediction is the victory of Memphis, taking into account the handicap (-3.5) points for the coefficient 1.83 in BC 1xBet. It is unlikely that the loss of the "lake" will help them demonstrate spectacular basketball. Most likely, Vogel's charges will not be able to do this. Given this, we doubt that the 228.5 mark will be broken. Second prediction is for the total under 228.5 points for 1.67. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.83.
