Grizzlies vs. Spurs Picks and Predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 109, Spurs 106
Money line
THE GRIZZBE (+210) are damaged, but are worth rolling the dice for the chance to double. The Spurs (-255) just can’t seem to get out of their way, and San Antonio still only has 15 wins this season.
Memphis has dominated this series, and until San Antonio can start posting consistent wins against the Grizzlies, keep supporting Memphis.
Against the spread
If you’re a bit conservative and just don’t feel GRIZZLE +6 (-108) straight away, it’s a good play to catch 3 buckets.
Memphis is a respectable 3-2 ATS in the last 5 games, while the Spurs -6 (-112) are 3-1 ATS in the last 4 outings. And even though San Antonio is 5-1 ATS in 6 games as a favorite this season, they haven’t been that big of a favorite all season. Since the Spurs are struggling so much against the Grizzlies, San Antonio can’t be trusted.
More less
LESS THAN 218 (-110) is the skinny, but go for a half-unit set at most.
The Under is on a 4-1 streak for the Spurs, scoring 107 points or less in 4 of the last 5 outings. The Under also won silver in the last meeting in Memphis on January 2, with a total of 204 points out of a total of 237.
The Over has conceded 4 straight points for the Grizzlies, mostly due to Memphis having struggled defensively, including allowing 137 points to Golden State and 121 points in an overtime loss at Sacramento before that. They are good offenses, unlike San Antonio.
