Prediction
Spurs 123, Grizzlies 105
Moneyline (ML)
PASS. The Spurs (-625) are too expensive on the moneyline, although they should handle their business in this one. They’ll be on a mission after getting thumped by 20 in their building by the Boston Celtics Saturday. San Antonio had been 4-1 SU at home until that implosion. Avoid the Grizzlies (+450), as they have won just twice in nine tries.
New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered that San Antonio wins profits $0.16 if the Spurs prevail. (Ex: Bet $10 to win $1.60, $20 to win $3.20, $62.50 to win $10).
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The SPURS (-11.5, –106) are just 2-7 ATS overall this season, but they’re going to get well against a Grizzlies (+11.5, -115) side which is really struggling to find their identity.
Memphis has not only managed a 2-7 SU record, but they have covered in just two games this season, too, while going 0-2 SU/ATS on the road. Look for San Antonio to win and cover, getting on track as they head into the new week with authority.
Over/under (O/U)
The OVER 22.6.5 (-106) has connected in eight of the past nine games at home for the Spurs. Interestingly, the over is 12-3-1 in the past 16 games after San Antonio allows 125 or more points in their previous game. Conversely, the over is 7-1 in the past eight when Memphis is thumped by 10 or more points at home, so it’s the perfect storm for a high-scoring battle in Texas.
