The Lakers have a 3-1 lead in the series, so if they win Game 5, they will eliminate the Grizzlies from the NBA Playoffs.

If the Grizzlies are able to stay alive, then Game 6 will be back in Los Angeles on Friday.

The two teams split Games 1 and 2 in Memphis, and then the Lakers won both Games 3 and 4 on their home floor.

On the road, the Lakers have gone 21-22, while the Grizzlies are a very impressive 36-7 in the 43 games they have hosted in Memphis, Tennessee.

Last year, the Grizzlies lost in the second round of the playoffs, while the Lakers missed the postseason. 

Whoever wins the series will advance to the second round and face off against either the Golden State Warriors or Sacramento Kings.
