The Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies will open their 2026 NBA campaign with their second clash of the season. While the Lakers are the favourites, questionable performances in recent games make you wonder if they can really beat the Grizzlies, especially with Austin Reaves still out. Find out in our match prediction!
To show you just how bad the Lakers’ performances have dropped, they now have a +/- of 0.0, allowing just as many points as they conceded per game (116.8). LA is fresh off its 11th defeat of the season, which came at home to the Pistons (128-106), Eastern Conference leaders.
That defeat also made four losses in their last five to the Clippers, Suns, Rockets, and Detroit, beating only the bottom-place Kings. Although the Lakers have three games in hand, they are at risk of losing their 5th place to the Timberwolves. Or worse, their automatic playoff spot to the now 7th-placed Phoenix Suns.
Likewise, the 9th-placed Grizzlies are at risk of losing out on the playoffs entirely if performances don't pick up soon. From beating the Jazz and Bucks, the Grizzlies are now on back-to-back defeats to the Wizards (116-112), and now, the 76ers after overtime (139-136).

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
Although the Lakers have had an underwhelming run of games, they are still one of the best teams in the league. LA has two games in hand and has lost just two fewer than the 2nd-seed Spurs. They've missed out on the Reaves-Doncic duo in recent games, which is partly responsible for their slump.
However, LeBron is back in action. Both teams basically allow the same number of points per game. But offensively, the Lakers edge the Grizzlies and have the 8th-highest rating so far. Hence, our Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction is that the Lakers win.
