Lakers vs Grizzlies: Best NBA Player Props and Picks for Oct. 31
Written By Nick Crain | Last Updated at October 31, 2025
Halloween night features a marquee NBA Western Conference showdown in Memphis as the Lakers visit the Grizzlies. Early in the season, there’s still plenty of inefficiency to hunt, and this matchup offers value on both sides of the market.
If you’re line-shopping across sports betting apps or skimming sportsbook promotions, here are the best NBA bets today for Lakers-Grizzlies — plus a parlay from the rest of the slate.
Lakers-Grizzlies Game Lines
Lakers Moneyline +125
Odds via bet365
Whether or not Luka Doncic returns from injury in this game, the Lakers have put together some pretty remarkable performances of late, and Austin Reaves has stepped up as an extremely clutch player. Despite being on the road, Los Angeles has won three of its last four games and has really found something despite being shorthanded.
Over 237.5 Total Points (-110)
Odds via BetMGM
Both of these teams have allowed large scoring bursts to their opponents at times this season, but also have the offensive pieces to put up points in a hurry on their own as well. As such, this could shape up to be a shootout in which both teams reach triple-digits early.
Lakers-Grizzlies Player Props
Cedric Coward Over 11.5 Points (-129)
Odds via Caesars Sportsbook
Coward has been one of the best rookies in the NBA to this point, averaging 16 points per game while shooting roughly 65% from the floor overall and from beyond the arc. He's ultra-efficient and has eclipsed this scoring total in four of five games thus far.
Ja Morant Over 1.5 Made Threes (-127)
Odds via Caesars Sportsbook
Morant is shooting below 20% from beyond the arc this season, but his volume is incredibly high. As he continues to shoot with confidence and looks to find a groove from beyond the arc, this could be the game in which he figures it out and easily knocks down a pair of triples on six to eight attempts. Be sure to leverage the latest Caesars Sportsbook promo codes for even more value on this play.
Austin Reaves o7.5 Assists (-110)
Odds via bet365
If Doncic does return tonight, this is still a mark that Reaves can hit, especially given he's coming off a 16-assist game. But if Doncic doesn't play, this becomes nearly automatic as Reaves will be the primary handler once again.
Deandre Ayton o25.5 Points + Rebounds (-104)
Odds via BetMGM
Ayton has continued to improve this season as he integrates into the Lakers' system. As the team's primary big man who is playing nearly 35 minutes each night and averaging 16 points and 9.4 rebounds per contest, this is an attractive line at nearly even money.
Remaining Slate Parlay
🏀 Combined Parlay Odds (via bet365): +767 💰
-
Leg 1: Zaccharie Risacher Over 0.5 Assists (-220)
-
Leg 2: Jalen Johnson Over 0.5 Made Threes (-180)
-
Leg 3: VJ Edgecombe Over 17.5 Points (-115)
-
Leg 4: Evan Mobley Over 10.5 Rebounds (+105)
Risacher’s facilitation line is a single dime, while Johnson’s usage guarantees at least one clean look from deep. Edgecombe, the Sixers' rookie sensation, shoulders a significant load on offense and the volume will lead to at least 18 points. Finally, Mobley’s matchup favors glass work with plus money on double-digit boards. Bundled together, it’s a solid plus-money swing for bettors who want exposure beyond Lakers-Grizzlies.
The Halloween slate gives us a headline game with pace and star power, plus a few edges elsewhere. Shop numbers across multiple sports betting apps to secure the best price, and take advantage of any timely sportsbook promotions before the tip.
