Memphis Grizzlies vs. San Antonio Spurs: Game Prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies are trying to enter the postseason with some momentum as they are dealing with a bunch of things happening as of late. Point guard Ja Morant will continue to serve his eight-game suspension and Brandon Clarke is out for the season with a torn left Achilles.
The team has been struggling on the road throughout the season with just a 13-22 record away from Memphis. The Grizzlies are a dominant defensive team, fifth in the NBA with 111.9 points per game given up.
The San Antonio Spurs have been struggling throughout the year as they seem to be tanking to get a top pick in the loaded 2023 NBA Draft. They are currently three games worse than Charlotte to have a 14 percent shot at the number one pick. This season, they have been depending on the production of small forward Keldon Johnson, who averages 21.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 0.7 steals per game thus far.
The Grizzlies are the far and away better team and have more to prove in this game so go with the Memphis Grizzlies to cover the spread in this game.
