Memphis was underdog in first two series, but beat Oklahoma City and Clippers, with Thunder not having Westbrook, then LA getting banged up in that series- Grizzlies won eight of their last nine games since being down 2-0 in Clipper series. Home side won all four series meetings in regular season, but intensity level is way higher here-- first two meetings this year did go OT- three of four meetings stayed under the total. Over is 7-4 in Memphis playoff games, 4-2 on road; four of Spurs' last five games stayed under. Spurs are 3-2 vs spread as playoff home favorite; Memphis covered its last ten games, half of which were on road.
