Command Analysis
Memphis Grizzlies
USACurrent form
Memphis is showing a good level of play and continues to fight for the top positions in the standings. Taylor Jenkins' team plays balanced basketball, effectively acting both offensively and defensively.
After an unexpected crushing defeat against New York (106:143), the Grizzlies managed to rehabilitate themselves, minimally beating Houston (120:119), and then Milwaukee (132:119). This success allowed us to strengthen our position in the top three of the Western Conference.
Desmond Bain and Jaren Jackson Jr. continue to play a key role in the squad, and the competent actions of the coaching staff help the team maintain a high level of play. Ahead is a home game against an unstable San Antonio, and Memphis is ready to take advantage of the opponent's problems.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jah Morant, Marcus Smart, Cam Spencer and Vince Williams will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Grizzlies have won four of their last five games.
Approximate line-up: Jackson Wells, Edie-Kennard, Bain.
San Antonio Spurs
USACurrent form
The Spurs are having a mixed season and are unable to stabilize their results. Despite the presence of the talented Victor Vembanyama, the team does not always cope with serious rivals and most often remains on the margins of the standings.
In the last match, San Antonio lost to Miami (103:105). The meeting was intense, but in the end it was the "Hit" that turned out to be more accurate. This defeat was another proof of the instability of Gregg Popovich's team.
The Spurs' defense remains one of the most vulnerable in the league, and the lack of depth prevents the team from competing on equal terms with the strongest opponents. Ahead is a difficult trip to Memphis, where a serious test awaits the guests.
