DraftKings: Bet $5 on any sport pre-game ML, Get $200 If Your Bet Wins
The Memphis Grizzlies have been a good offensive team to begin the regular season as they are ninth in the NBA with 116.1 points per game so far. They have size on their frontcourt as they are only behind the Houston Rockets with 12.9 offensive rebounds per game to get second chances at points. All eyes will be on point guard Ja Morant, but his backcourt mate and shooting guard Desmond Bane has been doing well as he is averaging 24 points, five rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game.
Defensively, the Memphis Grizzlies have struggled a bit on that side as they are tied with the New Orleans Pelicans for the 20th spot with 114.4 points conceded per game. They are tied with the Miami Heat with 6.5 steals per game right now, which is sixth in the league to get fastbreak opportunities.
The San Antonio Spurs have been doing an average job offensively as they are 14th in the league with 112.9 points scored per game and a huge impact has been their ability to knock down threes as they are shooting 38.4 percent from beyond the arc. They do not drive to the basket and draw fouls as they are 26th in free-throw attempts this season as well. Small forward Keldon Johnson is leading the team as he is averaging 23.8 points with an outstanding shooting percentage of 47.2 percent from the field and 42.7 percent from three.
Their defense has been absolutely poor as they are tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the last spot with 120.6 points per game and cannot get stops as they are allowing an NBA-worst 50.8 field goal percentage.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. San Antonio Spurs Match Details
Fixture: Memphis Grizzlies @ San Antonio Spurs
Date and Time: Wednesday, November 9, 8:00 PM ET
Venue: AT&T Center, San Antonio, Texas
Memphis Grizzlies vs. San Antonio Spurs Best Pick
Ja Morant is one of the best point guards in the game today and his ability to shoot threes could use some work. However, he is coming off a game where he attempted 12 threes and knocked down five of them. The Spurs have the sixth-worst three-point percentage, allowing 37.9 percent to fall against them, so Morant should be able to knock down at least a pair here.
Ja Morant; Threes: Over 1.5 (-145)
Memphis Grizzlies vs. San Antonio Spurs Final Prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies are far and away the better team here and should be able to dominate against one of the worst defenses in the NBA. The Spurs are not going to be able to stop the backcourt of Morant and Bane and that will be way too much for them to hold off.
Memphis Grizzlies -6.5 (-110)
