I was able to cash my Nuggets vs Warriors Same Game Parlay at +404 odds last night and with a 13-game slate coming our way on Friday, it’s only natural to try our luck and land back-to-back winners. I’m focusing on the Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers clash, tipping off at 10:00 pm ET on ESPN. We’ve also got NBA picks for today’s games, but for now, let’s get into my Grizzlies vs Lakers Same Game Parlay.
Grizzlies ML (+168)
Ja Morant to score 30+ points (+160)
Same Game Parlay odds: +358
Memphis Grizzlies ML over Los Angeles Lakers (+168)
It was a night to forget for Los Angeles on Wednesday as they lost 110-96 at home to the Miami Heat. It was their 8th loss in 10 games as they shot an abysmal 4-for-30 from three-point land (13%). LeBron James didn’t have the best of games, going just 6-for-18 from the field and scoring just 12 points. The illness he had earlier in the week seems to have had an impact on him and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lakers sat him out for this one. The atmosphere around this team just isn’t good right now and you can already hear rumblings of head coach Darvin Ham’s job being in danger. A loss to the Grizzlies could seal his fate. Memphis has a great opportunity to turn things around against a wounded Lakers team here and getting them at +170 odds to beat a team that’s just 2-8 SU in the last 10 games is too good to pass up.

Ja Morant to score 30+ points (+160)
In the 8 games Ja Morant’s played this season since returning from suspension, he is averaging 25.6 points per game on a decent 47.7% efficiency from the field. He has surpassed that average in both games played in December so far and I believe he will do it again tonight to power Memphis to victory. Even when they’re not doing well, playing the Lakers is always extra motivational for opposing players. Morant has had some pretty big games against LeBron and company lately, as he’s putting up 28.1 points per game in the last 10 meetings. During that stretch, he’s had 4 games of at least 39 points. Opponents are connecting on 40.9% of their three-point attempts against Los Angeles in their last 3 games, which is the 8th-worst mark in the entire NBA. I fully expect Morant to come out swinging here as he leads the Grizzlies to another important victory.
