Spurs at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 125, Spurs 118
Moneyline
The Grizzlies (-1100) will cost you 11 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive. There is also a little concern backing Memphis with Morant listed as questionable due to his thigh injury.
PASS.
Against the spread
The SPURS +13.5 (-108) might not be winning a lot of games lately, but they have been covering plenty of games. While the Spurs are just 5-11 ATS in the last 16 on the road, they covered the front end of this set. They’re also 6-1 ATS in the last 7 games against winning teams, while going 6-1 ATS in the last 7 when working on a day of rest, too.
Memphis has been playing down to its competition, going just 1-3-1 ATS in the last 5 at home against teams with a road winning percentage of under .400, including Monday’s non-cover against San Antonio.
Over/Under
OVER 237.5 (-110) is the best play on the board.
The Over is perfect in the last 9 games on the road for San Antonio, while going 16-5 in the last 21 games overall. The Over is 10-4 in the last 14 tries against teams with an overall winning mark, too.
For the Grizzlies, the Over has hit in 4 in a row, and 5 of the last 7 games at the FedEx Forum. The Over is also 4-0 in the last 4 games when their opponent scores 100 or more points in the previous outing.
