Grizzlies vs Spurs Prediction
I’d like to know the status of Wembanyama before laying this number on the road, but I’m going to do it anyway. The Spurs are 21-14-1 ATS on the season and are consistent both on the road and at home. The Spurs are 7-3 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. The Grizzlies remain extremely banged up and have lost 4 straight games. The winner in 9 of the last 10 games between the Grizzlies and Spurs has also covered the number. Home court hasn’t meant much for the Grizzlies, where they’re 7-9 SU. I’ll lay the number with the Spurs.
