San Antonio are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of San Antonio's last 6 games.
Memphis are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games.
The total has gone OVER in 8 of Memphis' last 10 games.
Prediction
The Grizzlies are the better team here as they rank #2 in offense and are averaging 123.6 ppg in their last 10 games but the Spurs offense has been really good too, ranking #7 in the league and have scored 120.7 ppg in their last 10 games. Dejounte Murray is likely to play so expect fireworks on this game and I think the Spurs can keep it close. Take the Spurs with the points.
