Grizzlies vs Spurs Prediction
The current betting odds have the Grizzlies listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Grizzlies have looked really good in their games this season with their 25-15 record overall which has them right near the top of the West. They haven't looked great in their road games this season with their 10-10 road record, but they have also been dealing with a lot of injuries to key players throughout the season. They are coming off a loss to the Rockets in their last one, but that was a really tight loss that they will be looking to bounce back from and they are getting healthier with players returning to their lineup again. Meanwhile, the Spurs have looked good in their games this season with their 19-19 record overall, but that record has them right near the bottom of the West. They have looked good on their home court with their 12-8 home record, but they have also been a really up and down team all season. They are coming off a nice road win over the Lakers in their last one, but they did lose 3 games in a row right before that and haven't really been hot lately either, going 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Grizzlies have a lot more talent on their team and they also have a lot more bench depth now that they are getting healthy again. The Grizzlies will be looking to bounce back after 2 tough losses to the Rockets over the last week and the Spurs are an inconsistent team that the Grizzlies can take advantage of even being on the road. The best way to place a bet here is on the Grizzlies to cover the spread in this game.
