Caesar’s. Santi Aldama should once again play a big role for the Grizzlies against the Spurs. Coming off a 20 point, 10 rebound effort, Aldama and the Grizzlies will now be without Ja Morant. The Memphis rotation is always a headache to figure out, but Aldama should play his way onto the floor as both Zach Edey and Jay Huff struggled mightily against the perimeter-oriented Victor Wembanyama. As is, Aldama has cleared this line in 10 of his last 14 games when playing between 18 and 28 minutes.

I believe Memphis is clearly superior but it's so rare for a club to sweep one of these baseball-type series on the road -- the Grizz won by 14 in San Antonio on Wednesday. Maybe we get lucky tonight and Ja Morant doesn't play as he's questionable. It is the end of a four-game trip so a possible letdown spot as it is for Memphis.

Memphis opens at the same number as Wednesday night at SA, a game they won comfortable by dominating the second half. Zach Edey has the size to at least make Wemby work a little and a balanced Memphis attack took turns running at the big man. Memphis has covered 4 of 5 and three straight on road. Memphis is 17-10 ATS with a day off. The Spurs are just 1-6 ATS within the division and 12-13 with a day off. Spurs 3-7 ATS last 10 at home. They lost 6 of those games by 11+ points and failed to cover 6 by 8+ points. Spurs have covered 1 of last 5 games overall, failing to over by 11.5, 11.5, 7 and 8 points.
