A pair of teams square off here that are Top 8 in the NBA defensively in points allowed. Memphis has had a day off and has lost the last three games by just 8, 6, and 7 points, yet they are a big dog at San Antonio. Memphis is 3-1 ATS this season as a double-digit underdog, including covering at Boston last week as a +11.5 dog. The San Antonio Spurs are struggling, losing of eight of their last 10 games. The Spurs have dropped out of the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference while dealing with injuries. The Spurs come off a 116-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday as six-point chalk, their fourth straight defeat at home. San Antonio's injury situation is a concern with All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge sitting out Saturday, and he remains day-to-day with a sprained ankle. The Spurs are 3-7 ATS against the Western Conference, plus 3-8 ATS when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Play Memphis.
