The Grizzlies enter the first round after registering 51 wins and 31 losses in what was another successful season, and for the second time in a row, they finished second in the West standings. The Grizzlies had a controversial season as Ja Morant had off-season troubles and Dillon Brooks made many provocative comments, but overall, they had a great season. The team started with 31 wins and 13 losses, and after that, they had 20 wins and 18 losses, which is a big downturn. Jaren Jackson Jr. hit his peak offensively late in the season and his defense is always a bonus. Can Morant and Bane effect a deep run in the Playoffs?

The Lakers were made to work hard by the Timberwolves in the Play-in game but prevailed 108:102 in the Overtime. LeBron James put up 30 points, Anthony Davis racked up 18 rebounds, and D’Angelo Russell had eight assists to lead the way. Dennis Schroeder knocked down a crucial three with a second left in the regulation but then Davis fouled Mike Conley on the three-point line. The Lakers' offense has been inefficient but their defense has been strict and doesn’t opponents slip away. It will be interesting to see how the Lakers respond here.

  • Grizzlies: OUT: Steven Adams, Brandon Clarke;
  • Lakers: Game-Time Decision: Dennis Schroeder.
  • Expected Leading Scorers: Anthony Davis(28-34 Points), Jaren Jackson Jr (26-33 Points);
  • Expected Leading Rebounders: Anthony Davis(12-17 Rebounds), Jaren Jackson(9-11 Rebounds);
  • Expected Leading Playmakers: D’Angelo Russell(8-10 Assists), Ja Morant(8-10 Assists).

The Grizzlies have been a strong team and the rankings clearly display that but in the second half of the season, the Lakers played much better than them on both ends and had a much better balance. It will be interesting to see how the match-up of Anthony Davis and Jaren Jackson shapes up and this has to be the biggest one here. I expect the Lakers to give the Grizzlies a lot of fight and the scoring to be down. I ultimately believe that Memphis will win 108:102.
