Spurs vs Grizzlies prediction
The Spurs are probably playing the better ball entering this game, and they've covered 7 of their last 10 games. With that said, neither the Spurs nor Grizzlies have anything to play for, and that makes me lean toward the home dog. It doesn't hurt that the Grizzlies have won 13 straight games against the Spurs, and that includes a two point win a couple of weeks ago as 6.5 point underdogs. The Spurs haven't beat the Grizzlies since December 2020. Give me the Grizzlies and the free bucket, but there's probably better options out there on a stacked NBA Tuesday.
