The San Antonio Spurs (12-8) and the Memphis Grizzlies (10-9) are both trying to turn around their seasons, but only one of these teams will get a “W” in the win column in Monday’s 8:00 PM ET game. The Spurs have rebounded from a sluggish start to win 6 of their last 10, while the Grizzlies recently had their 7-game winning streak turn into a 3-game losing streak.
Memphis will be the home team for Monday’s clash, and the Grizzlies have gone 6-2 in their friendly confines this season. The Spurs have been terrific in San Antonio this year but have amassed just a 2-7 record when traveling.

San Antonio has been a winning NBA team for a long time, but it is interesting to note that they have covered the betting odds in just 1 of their last 12 meetings with the Grizzlies. The only time they covered the odds during that span was, however, a game from earlier this season in which the Spurs won 95-82 as 5.5-point home favorites. Before then the Grizzlies had won 6 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings outright, while the over has been a winner in 6 of the last 9 games played between these teams.
The Grizzlies are currently 5.5-point betting favorites for this game after being bet up from an opener of -5. The total has also shifted and now sits at 190 after starting off 2 points higher at 192. San Antonio is 9-11 against the odds this season, while Memphis has fared only minimally better at 9-10. The Spurs have gone under in 11 of their 20 games while the Grizzlies have also gone under in 11 of their 19 games played on the year. Memphis forward Zach Randolph will be out until late February after suffering an slight MCL tear on January 1st.
