The San Antonio Spurs (13-28) are coming into tonight's game off the back of a loss to none other than the Memphis Grizzlies (27-13). The Grizzlies are currently riding high on a seven-game winning streak.
The Spurs will no doubt be looking for some payback when they face the Memphis outfit tonight. They're just 1-5 in their last six games, with their sole victory in that time coming against the similarly ailing Detroit Pistons. Needless to say, the Grizzlies have all of the momentum ahead of tonight's game.

Spurs vs. Grizzlies Prediction
The Spurs have very little in their favor going into tonight's game. After a surprisingly solid start to the season, going 5-2 in their first seven games, the San Antonio outfit have crumbled. The absence of top offensive player Keldon Johnson has been sorely felt lately.
Despite a spirited performance against the Grizzlies, the Spurs ultimately fell in defeat. Even if Johnson winds up playing tonight, it's hard to envision a scenario where the team pulls off the upset tonight.
The Grizzlies, meanwhile, have looked phenomenal in all areas of the court. Even with star player and top points-scorer Ja Morant absent recently, the team has dominated. With the home-court advantage, and a team they've already bested, the Memphis outfit will most likely pick up the win tonight.
Prediction: Grizzlies -13.5
