San Antonio Spurs vs Memphis Grizzlies Preview

The Spurs have lost their way

The Spurs come into this contest after a 14-point loss against the Grizzlies despite a 26-point night by Stephon Castle. The Spurs have lost four out of their five games, completely breaking apart on both ends. Victor Wembaynama hasn’t been as effective as in December(20.7 Points per game compared to 28.5 PPG). Apart from that, his defensive presence hasn’t been enough to crush the opponents, which has left the team struggling on both ends. The Spurs lack offensive depth and are largely a one-man show headed by Wemby. He needs help.

The Grizzlies are offensive behemoths

The Grizzlies enter the game after defeating the Spurs by 14 points as Ja Morant had a 21-point and 12-assist night. The Grizzlies have been underwhelming for a while now, having lost five out of their last eight games. Meanwhile, they haven’t won more than two games in a row since mid-December. However, they have continued to be scoring juggernauts during the period. They are #1 in points per game with 123 PPG.

San Antonio Spurs vs Memphis Grizzlies– Final Prediction and Additional Information

The Grizzlies handed a huge loss to the Spurs just some hours ago, so their confidence will be sky-high. The Spurs have fallen in a downward trajectory and although the Grizzlies have their own issues to comb over, their offensive depth can be too much. Thus, they can down the Spurs again by a margin of 7+ points at least. The total can go past 240 again.

Victor Wembanyama will likely breach the 25 points mark here while Jaren Jackson Jr. can have a 22+ points night.

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!
