Spurs at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 120, Spurs 107
Moneyline
PASS.
The Grizzlies had to go to overtime to escape San Antonio with a 124-122 win in their last meeting Nov. 9. The Grizzlies (-600) should win Monday, but there is no need to risk 6 times your potential profit on the ML in this divisional matchup. Bet the spread or total instead.
Against the spread
BET GRIZZLIES -11.5 (-110).
Even if Morant sits out again with thigh soreness, the Grizzlies should be able to win by margin Monday vs. a bottom-3 team in the Spurs. F Keldon Johnson could potentially return for San Antonio, but shouldn’t be too effective coming off a hamstring injury. The Grizzlies are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 head-to-head meetings and should have a better showing at home than their overtime win at San Antonio Nov. 9. Lay the points.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 237.5 (-108).
This is too many points for this divisional matchup. These teams tend to play low-scoring games against each other and the Under is 5-1 in their last 6 meetings. Look for the Spurs’ bottom-10 offense to regress toward the mean after putting up an average of 117 points over their last 3 games.
