The Memphis Grizzlies (3-4) will hit the road to take on the Los Angeles Lakers (5-4) on Sunday, and tipoff for this NBA game is scheduled for 9:30 PM ET.
The home-team Lakers are 7-point favorites and have actually been bet down from an opener of -7.5 despite wager-tracking websites showing that Los Angeles is receiving close to 70% of the action on the point spread.
The total has also seen its share of movement and currently sits at 182.5 after starting off higher at 185.5.
The movement on the under isn’t all that surprising when you consider that 10 of these team’s 16 games this season have gone under the betting total.
The Lakers sit at 4-5 against the spread odds this season, while Memphis hasn’t performed any better at 3-4.
The Grizzlies have been a poor road team so far this season and will put their 1-3 win/loss mark when traveling against a Lakers squad that has gone 5-1 in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles won 93-84 in Memphis in the most recent meeting between these two teams, and the road team has won outright in 3 of the last 5.
The under has been a great bet in this series and has hit in 5 of the last 6 head-to-head meetings.
Memphis seems to have the number of the Lakers and has won 3 of those 6 games while covering the odds in 4.
The Grizzlies have covered the odds in every single victory this year, while failing to do so when they lose.
They’ve gone under the total in 3 of their last 4, while the Lakers have gone over in 3 straight games after starting the season playing in some low-scoring affairs.
Despite winning some games recently, Los Angeles has covered the NBA odds in just 1 of their last 5.
