The Memphis Grizzlies will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers tonight in a battle of two Western Conference teams on opposite sides of the standings. While the Grizzlies have beat the Lakers twice already this season, the Lakers will look to defend home court tonight.
Kobe Bryant made his return to the lineup after missing 3 straight games due to body soreness. Bryant has been playing heavy minutes throughout the year and Byron Scott will look to lower the minutes in the coming games. Ryan Kelley will also return for tonight’s game after missing 22 this season due to a torn hamstring.
So far this season has been a struggle for the Lakers. They are currently 10-22 and at the bottom of the Western Conference as well as the Pacific Division.
As for the Memphis Grizzlies, they will try to continue their win streak even though they are without Zach Randolph and are on a rigorous road trip. NBA.com reports:
Mike Conley scored 16 of his 30 points in the opening quarter and added seven rebounds and six assists.
“It’s a huge win for us at home and a huge statement. Hopefully, we can just continue building off of it,” Conley said.
