It appears that the Lakers have broken the Grizzlies, who are now on the ropes. The four-time MVP had an incredible performance in Game 4\u2019s 117-111 overtime win at home, with LeBron scoring 22 points to go with 20 rebounds, while also dishing out seven dimes. But the Lakers are more than just about James. His supporting cast is also starting to show up, including D\u2019Angelo Russell who drilled crucial baskets in Game 4. That could be the start of Russell turning things around after a slow start to the postseason. The Lakers, who are averaging 112.3 points in the first round, are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games versus a team with a winning record.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies (<a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/nba\">-4.0<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Regular Season Record: 51-31<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s time to find out what the Grizzlies are really made of. With their backs against the wall and without any room for a loss, Memphis will have to dig deep and recapture that form that made the Grizzlies one of the most dangerous teams during the regular season. Ja Morant, despite a hurting hand, is very much capable of producing a big game for his team just like he did in Game 3 when he exploded for 45 points, albeit in a loss. Desmond Bane is also coming off a 36-point explosion in Game 4. The Grizzlies, who are putting up 106.8 points in the playoffs, are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 home games versus Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writer&#8217;s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Grizzlies win, 115-112.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/signup\">Click here to make your NBA picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/signup\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-164969\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NBA-betting-sign-up-promo-2020.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NBA-betting-sign-up-promo-2020.jpg 900w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NBA-betting-sign-up-promo-2020-250x45.jpg 250w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NBA-betting-sign-up-promo-2020-600x108.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NBA-betting-sign-up-promo-2020-768x138.jpg 768w\" alt=\"NBA betting sign up promo 2020\" width=\"900\" height=\"162\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"176638\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;733&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies play Game 5 of their first-round series this Wednesday.
