Premium Pick

Memphis played the Spurs tough during the regular season, but the playoffs are a whole different story and San Antonio won its ninth straight postseason win over the Grizzlies, who trailed by as many as 36 points in a 111-82 loss. Memphis shot just 39.2 percent compared to 53.2 percent for the Spurs, who were led by Kawhi Leonard with 32 points while LaMarcus Aldridge added 20 points. Memphis faded near the end of the regular season, losing five of its last six games and it has carried over to the playoffs. Seven of the last 10 meetings have gone UNDER, including four of the last five at San Antonio. Memphis has scored more than 90 points just once in those five contests and have averaged 87 its last three games against the Spurs, which were all losses. The Grizzlies have not covered the number four of their last five road games. Play the Spurs as my NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game of the year, and also play the UNDER.
