Memphis Grizzlies vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction: Grizzlies are elite, Spurs are suffering

The NBA Regular Season is on and we have hit the midseason window which means a bunch of trades can take place with the trade deadline just within a month. Let us see if we will see widespread changes or if will it be a quieter trade scenario. Anyway, in this game, the Memphis Grizzlies are going to take on the San Antonio Spurs in an inter-Conference showdown.

The Grizzlies and the Spurs just some hours ago and in that game, Memphis came on top with a scoreline of 121:113 as Tyus Jones collected 24 points In that game, Memphis took an 11-point lead, scoring 35 and 37 in the first two quarters. The Spurs kept on closing the gap and got too close but then Memphis made key plays at the end of the game to extract the benefit of the lead generated early in the match. Six plates were in the 11-16 points range implying a great scoring balance once again. Grizzlies have now won both of their games against San Antonio.

The Grizzlies have now won seven games in a row and have once again taken advantage of a schedule that mostly had teams with record of 50% win or less. Meanwhile, the Spurs have lost five out of their last six games and this is the story of the season. It is clear that the teams are on the opposite spectrum. Memphis has won 27 games whereas San Antonio has won just 13 and has more than twice more losses than wins. Grizzlies are peaking and the Spurs are sliding.

• Grizzlies: OUT: Brandon Clarke, Danny Green;
• Spurs: OUT: Devin Vassell. QUESTIONABLE: Keldon Johnson, Keita Bates-Diop.

• Expected Leading Scorers: Ja Morant(29-35 Points), Keldon Johnson(23-27 Points)- QUES;
• Expected Leading Rebounders: Steven Adams(12-16 Rebounds), Jakob Poeltl(10-13 Rebounds);
• Expected Leading Playmakers: Ja Morant(7-9 Assists), Tre Jones(6-8 Assists).

The Grizzlies have been playing amazing basketball once again and this is another great development for the Franchise as this has already been the best decade in their history. The Spurs haven’t been a strong team this decade and they are once again showcasing vulnerabilities. The Grizzlies shut them out just a day ago and I expect a similar outcome here. I predict a scoreline of 128:113 in favor of Memphis.
