The LA Lakers are aiming for a fifth consecutive win when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night. They've played solid D lately holding two of their last three opponents under 86 points, but I think they'll come up short in a low-scoring contest here against a Grizzlies side that is even stronger than them on the defensive end.

We can note that Memphis has beaten the Lakers six straight times at home. The last time the Lakers won at Memphis was December 2013 and they're just 5-13 ATS in their last 18 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Memphis took an 87-78 loss at Denver its last time out but defeated New Orleans 105-102 its last game in front of the home town crowd.

Under is 15-6 in Grizzlies last 21 home games. Under is 4-1 in Lakers last five overall.

My selection is an 8* play on Memphis Grizzlies.
