3. Let Dillon Brooks cook

This one is pretty simple, let Dillon Brooks shoot the ball. In three games against LA this season, Brooks has shot 11 of 45 from the field and 6 of 20 from three.

Those splits average out to 24.4 percent and 30 percent. Those are the kind of shooting splits that a defense loves to see. On the season it isn’t much better, 39.6 percent from the field and 32.6 percent from three.

The best part about all this, Brooks always gets his shots up. This will let Los Angeles be able to direct even more attention to Ja Morant.

Although this playoff matchup says 2 vs 7, it doesn’t feel like that at all because of how well Darvin Ham’s squad has been playing lately. With that said, I believe the Lakers’ “upset” the Grizzlies’ and take them out in 6 games.
