How to watch Lakers vs Grizzlies today: Time, TV channel

The Los Angeles Lakers host the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, and if you're wondering how to watch the action live, you've come to the right place.

After a much-welcomed break in their schedule this week, the Lakers will look to bounce back from a meek 97-87 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. Overall, they have lost eight of their last 11 games and are in 10th place in the Western Conference with a 13-12 record. During that 11-game span, they struggled mightily to score, as they averaged 103.3 points a game, which is last in the NBA, and were 29th in offensive rating during that span.

The Grizzlies boast plenty of bark and bite these days with an 18-8 record that puts them in second place in the West. They have won 10 of their last 11 games, and they have gotten a lot healthier during that spurt after injuries caused Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart and rookie Zach Edey to miss some games.

This will be the second meeting this season between Los Angeles and Memphis. Memphis won the first one easily, 131-114, in Tennessee on Nov. 6, while the Lakers took the second meeting by five points a week later. Neither Morant nor Bane played in that second matchup.

Here's how to watch the Lakers game, including time, TV schedule and streaming information:
