San Antonio Spurs at Memphis Grizzlies Preview & Picks

San Antonio are tipped to cover as they bounce back from the loss to Portland.

The Spurs have done good work on the road in recent months and can take advantage of a short-handed Grizzlies team.

  • San Antonio Spurs are 10-2 in their last 12 road games
  • San Antonio Spurs are 9-3-0 ATS in their previous 12 road games
  • Memphis Grizzlies are 3-7-0 ATS in their last 10 games
  • The Under has cashed in 4 of San Antonio’s last 6 games

Head To Head

  • San Antonio Spurs lead the all-time series 96-48
  • San Antonio Spurs won 128-119 when the two teams last met on December 2

San Antonio Spurs Form

San Antonio head to Memphis having cooled off in recent days, losing three of their last five games to slip to 25-10.

The Spurs enjoyed a red-hot run in December as they reeled off eight consecutive victories, including back-to-back wins over defending champions Oklahoma City.

They beat the Thunder 130-110 at home, before heading to Oklahoma City to win a Christmas Day showdown, 117-102.

San Antonio’s run was ended at home as they fell 127-114 to Utah, and they then suffered a 113-101 defeat to Cleveland before rallying with a 134-132 victory over New York.

The Spurs backed that up with a 123-113 success in Indiana, only to then suffer a 115-110 defeat when they hosted Portland last Saturday.

Memphis Grizzlies Form

Memphis enter this matchup having lost back-to-back games in Los Angeles to see their losing skid reach four games and drop them to 15-20.

The Grizzlies enjoyed a successful few days surrounding Christmas Day as they followed up a 137-128 victory in Utah with a 125-101 win at home to Milwaukee.

They endured a disappointing end to 2025 though, as they ended the year with back-to-back defeats.

Memphis were beaten 116-112 on the road in Washington, before returning home for a 139-136 overtime defeat at the hands of Philadelphia.

The Grizzlies then travelled to Los Angeles for back-to-back meetings with the Lakers, and they were beaten on both occasions, 128-121 last Friday and 120-114 on Sunday.

Verdict

San Antonio are not in red-hot form right now, but they are still the better team.

The Spurs have also travelled well over the past couple of months, so we are backing the visitors to leave with a cover and a victory.
