ja injury

  • Wednesday, April 19, 2023

Las Vegas - NO Ja NO way! Memphis came into the opener as a -5 point favorite and wound up on the short end of a 128-112 score. Morant was hurt in the 4th quarter, and even if he plays, he AIN'T gonna be close to 100%. That's a GINORMOUS problem against this very deep Laker team that is hitting on all cylinders, and have won eight of the last nine. Not expecting Rui Hachimura (29 points) and Austin Reeves (23 points) to go nuts again, but as long as King James and Anthony Davis are both on the floor and healthy, this is an easy W for the Purple & Gold. Took an overnight line of L.A. -1, so it's just WIN baby.

Also took a double beating on Monday night in the Stanley Cup playoffs as both home teams (Edmonton and Dallas) lost in OT. So, the only move is to come back with the Oilers and Stars tonight to even their respective series.
