When and where can you catch this NBA game? Here is information about the list of broadcasters.
The Spurs lack depth
The Spurs come into this game after a remarkable 25 points come-from-behind win against the LA Lakers as Victor Wembanyama had a 23-point night. This win helped them overcome a three-game losing streak. The team has built a habit of losing consecutive games without building a lengthy winning streak. Despite having Defensive Maestro Wemby, they have given up 111 points per game, putting them out of the top ten in that regard. The Spurs also need more offensive depth around their superstar, thus, they might explore the trade market before the deadline in February.
The Grizzlies are the real deal but have lost their steam lately
The Grizzlies come into this match after a two-point loss against the Houston Rockets despite Ja Morant’s 29-point outing. They have lost four of their last six games, which has put a strain on their hot start. Afterall, it is the same time that went on a six-game winning streak and then hit a four-game winning streak soon after. At any rate, their offense has been red-hot and they are currently at the top of the league with 122.9 Points per game and are the second-best rebounding team with over 48 rebounds a game.
The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.

Key stats:
Both teams have not been playing their best brand of basketball lately. In the case of the Grizzlies, their lack of defense has paved the way for close games and they have been unable to prevent teams from scoring in the clutch. Meanwhile, the Spurs don’t have the same depth as the Grizzlies on the offensive end. Apart from that, Wemby is fatigued from carrying his team throughout this season. At any rate, the Grizzlies can notch a win here away from here. Expect the score to go north of 230 points.

nba Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
