Spurs vs Grizzlies

Memphis aims to maintain momentum despite key absences

Grade B+: Grizzlies Moneyline (-190)

The Memphis Grizzlies, holding a 31-16 record, are set to host the San Antonio Spurs, who stand at 20-23. The Grizzlies have been without star point guard Ja Morant for two consecutive games due to right shoulder soreness, and his status remains uncertain for this matchup. Despite Morant's absence, Memphis has demonstrated resilience, securing a narrow victory over the Houston Rockets in their last outing. The Spurs are dealing with their own injury concerns, notably with rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama listed as questionable due to illness, having missed the previous game. Historically, the Grizzlies have dominated this matchup, winning 15 of the last 16 encounters against the Spurs. Considering Memphis's home-court advantage and recent performance, betting on the Grizzlies' moneyline at -190 is advisable. This prediction is rated a B+, factoring in the current injury reports and team dynamics.
