Where to watch LA Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies? TV details, streaming options, and more (Nov. 6)
The LA Lakers, after a 1-3 battering in their five-game road trip take on the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedEx Forum on Wednesday (Nov. 6) to conclude their dismal away stretch. They come back West after going down to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern conference leg. Their sole win on their road trip comes against the Toronto Raptors.
The Grizzlies were off to a promising start, but like LA squandered it and are now 2-2 at home, and 4-4 overall. They lost a close game to the Brooklyn Nets despite having a good chunk of their starters and reliable bench options on the injury list. They will be without Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart for the next few games as injuries to their wings have rendered them week-to-week.
LA will be sweating over Anthony Davis' availability after their superstar center sustained an ankle injury last game against the Pistons. He later revealed that he was dealing with it all summer and has been listed as questionable. Also on the IR are starters Austin Reaves (ankle) and D'Angelo Russell (foot) listed as probable.
Despite the injury concerns, the Wednesday matchup is key for both sides keen on correcting their record away and home respectively early on in the season.
