Why the Grizzlies could cover the spread/win

The Grizzlies are one of the best teams in the NBA. They are first in the league in points per game, second in field goals made per game, fifth in field goal percentage, first in free throw attempts per game and third in assists. The Grizzlies move quickly and often find the open man. Memphis will hit their shots and easily score 120 points or more if they get too open. If the Grizzlies only hit their season average, there’s a good chance they can win on the road.

The The Spurs haven’t been good lately. They have lost three of their last four games and their record has been poor. In their three losses, San Antonio has scored just 108.7 points per game. This makes it very difficult to win, but even more so when playing the Grizzlies. In fact, when the Spurs score fewer than 110 points this season, they are 4-11. Memphis isn’t the best defensive team, but if the Spurs continue to score like this, it will be very easy for the Grizzlies to win this game.

Why the Spurs could cover the spread/win

Memphis, as mentioned, does not play great defense. Their focus is on scoring goals, so their defense has a bit of a kick. The Grizzlies are allowing the ninth most points per game, and are really getting themselves in big trouble. Memphis will also allow teams to have multiple looks at the basket as they allow the seventh-most rebounds per game. Especially with Victor Vembanjama, the Spurs will be able to get offensive rebounds and have more than a few good looks at the hoop. If they can get some points on Wednesday night, the Spurs will be able to keep pace with the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are just 5-5 in their last 10 games. In those 10 games, Memphis was one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. They are allowing 121.9 points per game, and opponents are shooting 47.7 percent of them. When the Grizzlies allow at least 115 points this season, they are 8-13. That’s 13 of their 15 losses this season. With the way the Grizzlies are defending right now, the Spurs should have no problem putting up 115 points on Wednesday night. If San Antonio scores, they will have a chance to win.

Finals Grizzlies-Spurs prediction and pick

This will be a good game, but that’s because of how much the Grizzlies have struggled on defense. However, the spread is small, and the Grizzlies are the better team than the Spurs. Given that the spread is only 3.5 points, I’ll take the Grizzlies to cover on the road.

Finals Grizzlies-Spurs prediction and pick: Grizzlies -3.5 (-110)
