Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies have been in a bit of a rut as they’ve lost four of their past six games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting stopped by the Rockets in a 120-118 loss on Monday. Ja Morant led the team with 29 points and four assists, Desmond Bane added 25 points on nine of 13 shooting while Jaren Jackson Jr chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 52 percent from the field and 14 of 32 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in control when they built a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter before they allowed the Rockets to close the final 8:10 on a 27-15 run to snatch the game from them in the end.

San Antonio Spurs

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in decent form as they’ve split their last eight games and they will be eager to build some momentum after blowing past the Lakers in a 126-102 road win on Monday. Victor Wembenyama, Devin Vassell, and Stephon Castle each scored 23 points, Harrison Barnes added 17 points while Chris Paul chipped in with 13 points, 10 assists, and four steals. As a team, the Spurs shot 53 percent from the field and 13 of 35 from the 3-point line. The Spurs struggled to contain the Lakers early on and trailed by as many as 11 points before they exploded for 73 points in the second half to make it look easy in the end.

Why the San Antonio Spurs will win

  • The Spurs have won 19 of their last 22 home games against the Grizzlies following a win.
  • The Grizzlies have lost three of their last four road games.
  • The Spurs have covered the spread in each of their last five games against Grizzlies teams that held a winning record.

Why the Memphis Grizzlies will win

  • The Spurs have lost each of their last 14 home games against Southwest Division opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Grizzlies have won each of their last nine games at Frost Bank Center.
  • The Spurs have failed to cover the spread in each of their last eight games against Southwest Division opponents after winning as underdogs.
  • The Grizzlies have covered the spread in each of their last six games as favorites following a loss.

Total Points Facts

  • Seven of the Grizzlies’ last eight road games have gone OVER the total points line.
  • Each of the Spurs’ last four home games against Western Conference opponents has gone UNDER the total points line.

Spurs vs Grizzlies Prediction

The Grizzlies are still shorthanded with Marcus Smart and GG Jackson both out, while the Spurs are still missing Jeremy Sochan. The Spurs probably come into this meeting as the team in slightly better form, as they just smashed the Lakers. The Grizzlies are getting healthier by the day, and it’s only a matter of time before they go on a long win streak like they usually do. This could be a close one, but I like the Grizzlies to bounce back with a win and cover on the road.
