Memphis at San Antonio

Premium Pick

The San Antonio Spurs simply hasn't looked like San Antonio for almost two months. They finished the regular season at 3-15 ATS, had an easy series vs. a Lakers team who was missing three starters and struggled a bit more vs. Golden State than most expected. They will see the first real defense they have seen in this game, as Memphis has been that all season, and even more so in the playoffs. The Grizzlies gave up 100 or more points just 13 times this season, and are all about the half court game. And their game, as many have seen, translates well to the playoffs, which are defended much tighter. San Antonio might not be considered defensive, but consider the fact that they just held an excellent shooting Golden State team to 100 points or less in five straight games, something that hadn't happened to the Warriors through 81 games of the regular season. San Antonio is 11-2 to the UNDER in their last 13 on two days rest while Memphis is 15-6 to the UNDER after a win. The Grizz are also 54-37 UNDER the past two seasons when facing a winning team and 31-18 UNDER over that span as an underdog. The last eight in this series has seen six go UNDER the total as well. Play the UNDER in this one.
