Drifting our eyes over the regular season records, we see the Memphis Grizzlies with a stronger win-loss ratio, standing at the number three spot in the Western Conference. Juxtapose that against the San Antonio Spurs, floating around in the 12th place, and the initial impression leans in favor of the Grizzlies.
Now, let's break down some key players from each team. For the Grizzlies, we've got Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bane, and Ja Morant holding down the fort. Jackson and Bane with impressive last month stats, consistently racking up above 20 points per game. The Spurs, on the other hand, have Victor Wembanyama blazing trails with 26.5 and 11.5 points/rebounds per game respectively in the past month. He's not alone though, players like Devin Vassell and Jeremy Sochan are making notable contributions as well.
Looking at recent matches between these two rivals, the Grizzlies seem to dominate, having hyper jumped over the Spurs in their last meeting, and winning four out of the last five. However, the Spurs have put up a hard fight, coming close in a couple of those games.
In terms of form, the Grizzlies appear to be more consistent, with secure wins under their belt. The Spurs, though, seem to be a little off balance, dropping games to Lakers, Bucks and even Bulls.
Factoring all these nuances, we might see Memphis Grizzlies maintaining their upper hand.
Albert’s Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies by 4.
