The current betting odds have the Grizzlies listed as a 14 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Grizzlies have one of the best records in the NBA right now and are fighting for the number 1 seed in the West, but they have also been crushing teams at home this year as they are 17-3 in home games. The Spurs have been terrible all season, they have one of the worst records in the NBA at 13-28 and they haven't been good in road games either with a 5-14 road record. They have also been playing poorly in their games lately entering this game with 2 losses in a row while the Grizzlies have been getting very hot lately winning 7 games in a row coming into this one. The Grizzlies are the team to beat in the West right now and when they are healthy like they are right now, they are a very tough team to stop, especially here at home. Look for the Grizzlies to continue to roll in this home game against one of the worst teams in the league. The best way to place a bet here is on the Grizzlies to cover the spread in this game.
