San Antonio vs Memphis Game Preview and Analysis
San Antonio comes into this matchup off a frustrating home loss to Portland, but I am much more interested in how the Spurs have looked away from home. They have embraced life on the road, going 6-0 straight-up and 5-1 against the spread in their last six road games. That trend matters even more here given Memphis just returned from a rough trip to Los Angeles.
The Grizzlies were swept in a two-game set against the Lakers and blew a double-digit halftime lead on Sunday, getting out-scored 66-49 after the break. Memphis also logged heavy travel mileage, which is not ideal with another game coming Wednesday.
San Antonio has already shown it can beat Memphis without a full roster. The Spurs won last month without Victor Wembanyama, and while his status is still important to monitor, the matchup history shows San Antonio has multiple paths to success.

Memphis continues to struggle in the underdog role at home, and with several rotation players unavailable, I have a hard time trusting them to close the gap late.
