Memphis Grizzlies - Sacramento Kings

The total given is slightly lower than Melo's average, with 20 points and almost 8 assists per game, and the opponent is one that Melo should definitely play well against tonight. The Lakers team is not known for strong defense, although it has improved recently, so I believe this player should have many opportunities to score, especially in Luke pick and roll situations, where he played excellently in last season's meeting with the Lakers. Furthermore, this game is being played in LaMelo's home turf, where he has a great track record of averaging around 25 points and 8 assists per game against the Lakers in his 4 previous visits. Looking at his game logs of 27 points and 6 assists, 23 points and 8 assists, 25 points and 11 assists, and 26 points and 7 assists in those matches, it is clear that he always gets fired up when playing the Lakers.
