Memphis vs Spurs Prediction 4 February 2025

🔊What should we expect from the upcoming clash between Memphis and San Antonio? Recently, the Spurs have been playing much worse than at the beginning of the season, yet this team should not be underestimated. Even when not in top form, San Antonio managed to steamroll over Indiana (140-110) and Milwaukee (144-118). In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction.

Head-to-Head

In head-to-head confrontations, San Antonio holds a slight advantage. Over a stretch of 60 games, Memphis has upset their opponent 28 times while suffering 32 losses. However, this season the Spurs have yet to delight their fans with a victory. In both meetings that took place on January 16 and 18, it was the Grizzlies who came out stronger (129-115 and 140-112).

Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis is on the rise. The team had a great second half of January, securing 7 wins in 8 games. During this period, the Grizzlies only faltered against New York (106-143), which is not too shameful a loss. For example, on the night of January 31, Memphis managed to handle Houston (120-119), a direct competitor in the battle for the second position in the Western Conference standings. By the way, this victory moved Taylor Jenkins' team to an interim second place.

San Antonio Spurs

San Antonio, on the other hand, approaches the upcoming clash with a positive mindset. Recently, the team has hardly pleased its fans with victories, and the gap from the top 10 in the Western Conference standings is only growing. Over an 8-game stretch, the Spurs managed to win only 2 times. Yes, during this period San Antonio achieved significant victories over tough opponents like Indiana (140-110) and Milwaukee (144-118), but in light of 6 losses, these successes do not evoke positive emotions. The team was very close to defeating Miami in their last match but lacked a bit of luck and skill at the end of the confrontation (103-105).

Editor's Prediction

According to sportsbooks, everything seems obvious in the upcoming clash. They consider Memphis to be the clear favorite in the upcoming confrontation. In this situation, we completely agree with them. Unfortunately, San Antonio is not in its best condition. Recently, the team has shown extremely weak play, especially in attack. If earlier they consistently exceeded 120 points, now they can't even reach 110 points - 103-105 and 107-128 with Miami, 98-136 with Indiana, 105-121 with Milwaukee. Likely, Memphis will be leading by a large margin by halftime, making the third and fourth quarters a formality. Against this backdrop, an interesting betting option seems to be total points under (236.5).
