The Spurs had an away stretch ahead of their home meeting with Memphis. The Texas team started with a good night's rest, but finished with a good night's rest. First, San Antonio failed to cope with Chicago (110:114), then Victor Vembanyam lost the duel to Giannis Antetokoumpo, and his team lost to Milwaukee 105:121. But in the most recent meeting so far, the Spurs managed to stop LeBron James and the Lakers in Los Angeles - 126:102. Here already Vembanyama was good, scored 23 points, made 8 rebounds, 2 blocked shots and 3 steals.
All in all, San Antonio at the moment again has exactly 50% of wins - the balance is 19-19. In the Western Conference standings, the Spurs are on the tenth line, which means, we repeat, they are serious contenders for a play-in round.
Memphis
If the Spurs have completed their road stretch, the Grizzlies will play their third straight away game. This stage began for Memphis in Minneapolis, where the team beat the tough Timberwolves 122-120. Next, the Bears traveled to Texas and lost to Houston, for the third time this season. 118:120 - not even Ja Morant's 29 points and Desmond Bain's 25 points helped Memphis.
After losing to the Rockets once again, Memphis missed them in the standings and now sits in third place in the Western Conference with a 25-15 win-loss record. But the Grizzlies, with Ja Morant returning from injury, have regained the top spot in the offensive efficiency rankings with 122.9 points scored per game on average.
H2H Meetings
In the current championship, the rivals have not yet met, and in the last championship Memphis took from San Antonio three games out of four. Interestingly, all games of the season series turned out to be tied.
Expert Betting Tips
In the last championship San Antonio and Memphis all four face-to-face meetings ended on the total under. But then the Grizzlies spent the whole season not in the optimal lineup, and the Spurs have not yet had Chris Paul, with whom the Texans have noticeably added in terms of ball movement. In general, we're betting on high scoring in the upcoming game, and we're also expecting Memphis to win. The team is among the leaders of the Western Conference and is, in our opinion, almost the main contender for the title of the best team in the West at the end of the season.
