The Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs will play in the NBA playoff game on May 20. We offer you a forecast for this match.
"Memphis Grizzlies»
The end of the season, Memphis played very well, and could even jump a little higher, but in the final match of the regular season lost to Golden State. Against San Antonio, Memphis seems to be the clear favorite, so we expect Memphis to move on, but the next game with the winner of the Lakers - Warriors pair could be the Grizzlies ' last of the season.
San Antonio Spurs»
Last year, the Spurs missed the playoffs for the first time in many, many years. We believe that the Texans will again be out of the playoffs this season, but the team can be happy that at least it made it to the play-in round. It is extremely difficult for one DeRozan to drag a rather mediocre team to victory.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
- Allen (muscle injury), McDermott (leg injury) - Memphis. Jeffries, Lyles, White (all-ankle injury), Samanich (broken arm) - San Antonio .
Statistics and figures:
- Memphis lost for the first time in six games;
- San Antonio has four losses in a row;
- Memphis has won three of its last five games against San Antonio.
Forecast:
Gregg Popovich has already accomplished the feat of leading San Antonio to the play-in round with such a weak roster. It is clear that Pops has a lot of experience, and he can beat anyone, but in this situation, it will be problematic to count on success. We will agree with the bookmakers and bet on the favorite in this pair – "Memphis Grizzlies".
