The Lakers recently won a four-game winning streak, and on Jan. 10 they will continue to play at home against the good Grizzlies. LeBron will definitely continue the strong performance, westbrook, Munch, Anthony and other people to give support, so that the Lakers can continue to win the game. The Grizzlies' home player Morant may be out, so he can only rely on Jackson and Bain to lead the team, and they strive to win the Lakers on the road.
The Lakers had won again at home, beating the Hawks 134-118 to get four straight wins and finish sixth in the West. Continuing to play at home has the advantage and they hope to win five in a row. LeBron was still a key figure in the last game, and he scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, especially the performance of the 17 points in the final quarter was impressive. Against the Grizzlies, LeBron pressure will be even greater, and it will be very difficult to continue the state, otherwise the Lakers will be very difficult. LeBron's recent game status has been hot, a lot of it is 30+ data, and the veteran is very difficult. Another milestone that LeBron could accomplish in the game against the Grizzlies is assists, and he only needs seven assists to overtake Robertson and rise to no. 7 on the all-time assist list.
LeBron is really good form, but Westbrook's recent performances also have to be mentioned, and he seems to have found a feeling. Westbrook shot badly in last game, but delivered 11 rebounds and 13 assists, and the most important number of turnovers was only 3, which is what the Lakers want to see. Wei Shao does not actually need to be strong in the attack of the Lakers, as long as he has a reasonable shooting choice and controls the number of mistakes, then it will help the team a lot.
Munch's recent performances have been a pleasant surprise, and he was brilliant in the last game, scoring 29 points and shooting as many as seven three-pointers, giving LeBron and Westbrook a lot of support. Munch returned from December 26 and played seven games, five of which were 20+ statistic performances. Against the Grizzlies, the Lakers need Munch to have a steady output, and if they can still have more than 20 points, then the team's winning hopes are greatly increased.
The Lakers also need Bradley, Tucker, Anthony and others to have a good performance, and they are also factors that affect the game. The Lakers did have four straight wins, but these opponents have limited strength, and playing against the Grizzlies is a real uphill battle.
The Grizzlies have been in full swing lately, already in an eight-game winning streak, having just beaten the Clippers on the road. The most unfavorable thing for the Grizzlies now is the absence of core Morant, and the appearance against the Lakers is also unknown, which has a great impact on the strength of the team, and it is not easy to get 9 consecutive wins.
Morant averaged 25 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game in the new season, which is the core of the Grizzlies. According to reports, Morant is now injured, the specific position is the left thigh sore, if he can play, then it will give the team a lot of help on the offensive end, if he is absent, then it can only rely on other players to play.
The Grizzlies also have Jackson and Bain, both of whom did well in their last game. Among them, Jackson had 26 points and 8 rebounds, and Bane had 23 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, which was the key to the team's victory. Against the Lakers, Jackson and Bain are key figures, and if the performance can be continued, then the win is expected.
Expected starters:
Grizzlies: Morant, Bain, Brooks, Jackson, Tilly.
Lakers: Westbrook, Bradley, Munch, Johnson, LeBron.
