Grizzlies vs Spurs Injury Report
The Memphis Grizzlies will be without Marcus Smart, Vince Williams Jr., and Cam Spencer. Ja Morant is questionable with a shoulder injury, and he didn’t play last night.
The San Antonio Spurs will be without Riley Minix due to a shoulder injury. Victor Wembanyama is questionable with an illness.
Grizzlies vs Spurs Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs should have an extra pep in their step after trading for De’Aaron Fox, but I doubt he’s cleared to play tonight. Victor Wembanyama is also still questionable with an illness and already missed a game because of it. The Memphis Grizzlies are on the end of a back-to-back, but they continue to win and cover numbers. The Grizzlies are 32-17 ATS on the season. There’s also a chance Morant returns from injury. The Grizzlies are 20-5 SU at home this season. It’s hard to step in front of that. The Grizzlies smoked the Spurs a couple of weeks ago, 140-112. The Grizzlies have won nine of the last 10 games against the Spurs overall. I’d need more points to truly consider the Spurs. Give me the Grizzlies for another win and cover.
