San Antonio is a 3.5-point road favorite in Memphis at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In their last game in Memphis, the Spurs had a nine-game winning streak over the Grizzlies snapped in an 89-74 loss.
Last weekend, the fate of San Antonio’s team was up in the air with Kawhi Leonard out with concussion-like symptoms and LaMarcus Aldridge out indefinitely with a heart arrhythmia. In a remarkable stroke of luck for the Spurs, both players quickly passed all of the required tests to return to action last week.
San Antonio’s run at the conference’s top seed took a hit on Wednesday night with a 110-106 home loss to Portland, and the Spurs will try to bounce back strong with a win on Saturday.
The Spurs have lost back-to-back games only twice this season. San Antonio is 11-1 SU and 7-5 ATS in its last 12 games coming off a loss per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Betting Line / Total: San Antonio -3.5 / 198 Points
Trend: The Spurs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against the Grizzlies.
Trend: The Grizzlies are 1-3 ATS in their last three games as a home underdog.
Memphis entered the month of March with a 9-4 SU and ATS record over its previous 13 games. The Grizzlies opened the month with an 0-5 SU and ATS slump, losing four games as a favorite and allowing 114 points per game over that stretch.
Just as suddenly as the Grizzlies had started to slump, they have turned things around over their last three games with a 3-0 SU and ATS record allowing 91.7 points per game. Memphis is 1-3 SU and ATS in its last three games as a home dog.
Saturday’s total is set at 198 points. The UNDER is 8-3 in the last 11 games between these two teams.
If the playoffs were to start today, these two teams would play each other in the No. 2 vs. No. 7 first-round series again. But both teams are hoping that won’t be the case, with Memphis hoping to play itself out of the bottom three in the conference and San Antonio hoping to earn the No. 1 seed down the stretch.
