The San Antonio Spurs (9-4) and Memphis Grizzlies (4-10) meet at 8 PM Eastern on NBC and Peacock! The storyline of this game is can the Spurs continue their winning ways against the bottom of the league without Victor Wembanyama or can the Grizzlies snap their four-game losing streak and get a much-need win on national TV without Ja Morant?
San Antonio enters led by De'Aaron Fox who will have more on his plate tonight without super star Victor Wembanyama, plus young up and coming guards, Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle. The Spurs beat the Kings, 123-110, without Wemby in their previous game after losing two straight to the Warriors.
The Spurs have been a streaky team this year, putting together two winning streaks of five and three games, plus two losing streaks of two games apiece. Let's see if San Antonio can put together another winning streak as home favorites on primetime.
Memphis is on a four-game losing streak and dropped eight of the past nine as they enter this contest. Not much has gone right and with Ja Morant out, Memphis will rely on Jaren Jackson Jr and a plethora of role players. The Grizzlies have one win against a team with a winning record this year and six of the Spurs' nine games have come against teams with losing records.

Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Grizzlies to cover the first half:
“Memphis has been abysmal in the full game ATS (4-10), ranking second-worst, but they have been a better first half team at 6-8 ATS on the season. The Grizzlies are getting +3.5 against a Spurs team that is without VictorWembanyama, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper. It's hard to imagine on primetime, Memphis doesn't hang at least for a half with this Spurs team.
Memphis is 3-2 ATS in the last five first halves compared to 1-4 in the full game. The Grizzlies are also 1-9 ATS in the last 10 games overall, so I do lean that way tonight as positive regression should set in, but I'll stick with the first half +3.5 down to +2.5 and live bet if need be."
