San Antonio Spurs vs Memphis Grizzlies, NBA 2025-26 Season, Today Match Prediction

Teams Preview

San Antonio Spurs Preview

The San Antonio Spurs found themselves in uncharted territory on Sunday night, taking the floor for the first time this season without their franchise player. Victor Wembanyama was ruled out due to left calf tightness following San Antonio’s loss to the Warriors. This, however, did not affect the Spurs as they proceeded to dismantle the Sacramento Kings, 123-110 in front of yet another sellout crowd at Frost Bank Center. San Antonio is now 9-4 for the season, 2nd in the Southwest Division.

De’Aaron Fox was on fire against his former team pouring 28 points and 11 assists. Veteran forward Harrison Barnes, now in his 14th NBA season, added 20 points on the night. Devin Vassell contributed 16 points and 7 dimes. San Antonio shot 54.0% from the field while having 38 assists. The Spurs also dominated the offensive lane scoring 58 points in the paint. 

San Antonio averages 118.8 PPG this season, converting 49.7% of its baskets (6th in the NBA). The Spurs are averaging 45.8 RPG (No.9 in the Association) and 27.2 APG (11th in the league). On D, San Antonio has been averaging 8.7 SPG and 5.5 BPG (8th in the NBA).

The Spurs lost thrice to Memphis last season, going down by an average margin of 20.3 points per game. They did, however, edge out the Grizz 130-128 at FedEx Forum on Mar 1, 2025 behind De’Aaron Fox’s game winner.

Memphis Grizzlies Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies are a dismal 1-5 against Eastern Conference teams this season and on Saturday night the Cleveland Cavaliers added to their woes, handing them a 108-100 loss at Rocket Arena. Memphis now falls to 4-10 on the season, finding itself 3rd in the Southwest Division.

On a night when Ja Morant left the game after playing just six minutes due to right calf soreness, the Grizz got a lift from Jaren Jackson Jr. who finished the game with 26 points and 5 rebounds. His effort was however not enough to carry Memphis home.  Zach Edey added 13 points and 7 boards. Santi Aldama tallied 12 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. The Grizzlies shot a woeful 36.0% from the field and committed fifteen turnovers.

The Grizzlies have been struggling offensively in the 2025-26 campaign, averaging only 111.9 PPG (26th in the NBA) while making just 43.0% of shots attempted (29th in the Association). They average 43.6 RPG but have been distributing the ball efficiently, accounting for 27.4 APG (9th in the league). 

On the defensive end, Memphis has been averaging 7.6 SPG and 4.2 BPG thus far. In the 2024-25 season, the Grizz won three of four against San Antonio, putting up 132.3 points a contest. Having said that, they did suffer a heartbreaking loss on their home floor.
