Memphis Grizzlies vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Grizzlies have to have a fire in their belly after losing last night to the Knicks. Even with the rest advantage, the Spurs are going nowhere fast with losses in seven of their last 10 games and covers in just two of those games. The Grizzlies beat the Spurs by 19 points last month and by 28 points back in January. The winner has covered six of the last seven games between the Grizzlies and Spurs. It’s hard to make a case for the Spurs given their current form. Give me the Grizzlies in a home blowout.
