Los Angeles Lakers Vs Memphis Grizzlies Game Day Preview

The LA Lakers face off against the Memphis Grizzlies for the second time in three days. The Lakers took the 1st one 108 – 104 this past Sunday.

Lakers Nation will put a three game winning streak on the line as they match up against a team searching for their 1st HOME WIN. If the Grizzlies are going to place a check mark in the WIN Column they will be doing so without star Ja Morant who will be out another 2-4 weeks after sprained his ankle against the Brooklyn Nets on Dec. 28.

Los Angeles Lakers

Lebron James is truly “The King”! In today’s NBA numerous teams rest star players suffering hang nail injuries from the day prior. Lebron is a “Basketball Player” – at the age of 36 he has played in every Lakers game and the ageless wonder shows no signs of slowing down.

This past Sunday, James took control of the game in Memphis in the fourth quarter. 13 of his 22 points came in crunch time as he helped turn a two-point lead into a 14-point victory.

“He does that every single night,” Lakers guard Wesley Matthews said of James.
