The San Antonio Spurs are looking like champions again with the playoffs just around the corner, and they are seeking a 13th victory in their last 16 games. The Grizzlies are still sitting in second in the West, but have cooled off losing back-to-back games, and scoring an average of just 86.5 points in those losses. I expect a better effort tonight from the Grizzlies, and we should see them turn up the intensity on defense.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Grizzlies have had one day to rest after losing home to Golden State, and they've seen the total go under in 19 of their last 26 games when playing on 1 days rest.

2. Defense - The are two of the top defensive teams in the league, with San Antonio ranking 7th allowing an average of 97.5 points per game. The Grizzlies rank second allowing just 95.6 points per game.

3. X-Factor - The under is 16-4-1 in Grizzlies last 21 vs. Western Conference.

Selection: This is a play on the Grizzlies@Spurs to go UNDER the total (10*)
