The LA Lakers will look for payback when they face the Memphis Grizzlies at the Crypto.Com Arena on Wednesday in an intense clash between the two conference rivals. The Grizzlies took the win when the two teams met last week at the FedExForum, meaning LeBron James & Co. will be looking to please the sellout home crowd and restore parity.
The Lakers (6-4) are unbeaten at home in five games, but on the road, they have failed to impress fans and critics with their disappointing showings. The Lakers are coming off a 123-102 Raptors win, with Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves combining for 49 points.
The Grizzlies (7-4), on the other hand, head into the game after thrashing the Blazers 134-89. They have won six of their last eight games, but surprise defeats to the Brooklyn Nets and the Houston Rockets in that run mean they will be looking to improve their consistency.

Memphis Grizzlies Starting Lineups and Depth Charts
The visitors will have many key names missing from their squad. Ja Morant is currently week-to-week with a hip injury. Desmond Bane is out with an oblique injury, and Cam Spencer is expected to return after three weeks following ankle surgery. GG Jackson is also out with a foot injury and is expected to return in January.
Marcus Smart is listed as questionable because of an ankle injury, while Vince Williams is doubtful with a leg injury.
As a result, significant changes are expected, with Taylor Jenkins likely relying on the young group of players. However, maintaining their strong streak will be challenging given the current squad's limitations.
Barring any changes, Taylor Jenkins wants to bank on the starting lineup of Brandon Clarke, Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, Jaylen Wells, and Scotty Pippen Jr.
