Why the Grizzlies can cover
Memphis is one of the hottest teams in the NBA heading into this matchup, having won its sixth straight game in a 123-118 final against Utah on Sunday. The Grizzlies were able to get the job done despite playing without leading scorer Ja Morant and leading rebounder Steven Adams. Morant was a late scratch due to right thigh soreness, while Adams was sidelined due to an illness.
They are both questionable to return on Monday night. Tyus Jones made the start in place of Morant, scoring 21 points and dishing out six assists, while Desmond Bane scored a team-high 24 points and tallied nine assists. San Antonio has lost four of its last five games and has dropped five straight on the road. The Spurs will also be without second-leading scorer Devin Vassell (knee) on Monday.
Why the Spurs can cover
San Antonio is coming off an admirable performance against Boston, as the Celtics needed a late bucket to pick up the win as 15-point favorites. The Spurs were able to compete with one of the top teams in the league despite not having three starters available. Leading scorer Keldon Johnson (hamstring) is questionable to play on Monday, but big man Jakob Poeltl (Achilles) is expected to suit up.
Josh Richardson, Tre Jones and Zach Collins scored 18 points each in the loss to Boston, with Collins notching a double-double after adding 12 rebounds. The Spurs were able to cover the spread for the fifth time in six games, so they have been undervalued despite their losing skid. They have proven that they are capable of competing with the best teams in the NBA, especially if Memphis is missing Morant or Adams.
