Grizzlies vs Spurs News and Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies, led by their young sensation in Ja Morant, are in the top three of the Western Conference. However, this game will be far from a cakewalk given the injuries they are dealing with compared to San Antonio’s injury report. The Spurs may not have Ja Morant, but Desmond Bane, Dillon Brooks, and Brandon Clarke are key difference makers to the success of this young Grizzlies team. The Spurs still have arguably the greatest coach in NBA history, Greg Popovich.

San Antonio has home-court advantage in this game and has a great chance at knocking off a Western Conference heavyweight. The Spurs are not the Spurs of old, but are still well-coached and have some talent of their own. Dejounte Murray is a favorite to win Most Improved Player of the Year this season with numbers of 19.3 PPG, 8.5 RPG, and 9.0 APG. Not to mention, Derrick White can get hot at any moment. This game may not look it on paper, but this is shaping up to be a great matchup.

Grizzlies vs Spurs Prediction | NBA Picks

Expect the Spurs to make this a game. However, the Grizzlies should still be able to secure a road victory on the back of Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson. Memphis is also extremely well-coached thanks to Taylor Jenkins. Despite the litany of injuries, the Grizzlies are still better overall than the Spurs this season. With all of that being said, I am picking the Memphis Grizzlies in a close game.

For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Memphis a 54,1% chance to win.
