Grizzlies vs Spurs Prediction
The Grizzlies are coming into this game playing very well in their recent games and even with their best player Ja Morant out, they still keep winning games. They have won their last 5 straight games and all 5 of those wins have been by double digits. They are going up against a Spurs team that has also been playing very well recently and has been heating up in their games with 4 straight wins. The difference is the Grizzlies have been smashing playoff bound teams by double digits without their best player on the court and the Spurs have been beating bottom feeder teams like the Rockets and the Trail Blazers. The Spurs also had a few close games against these opponents while the Grizzlies have been crushing everything in their path with no close games. The Grizzlies are likely going to keep on truckin through their games putting an end to the winning streak of the Spurs. The Grizzlies are the number 2 team in the NBA right now while the Spurs will likely miss the playoffs this season. The Grizzlies are going to crush the Spurs in this game by close to 20 points.
