Memphis Grizzlies score over 120 points
We talked about earlier how both teams are really focused on the defensive-end of the court and that this could be a low scoring game, but the Grizzlies have played really well against San Antonio this year and have put up a lot of points in the process.

In three games against the Spurs this year, the Grizzlies are 2-1 and scored 127 PPG on average. Not to mention, they were missing a couple of guys here and there in those games, including the likes of Jaren Jackson Jr.
One of the main reasons why the Grizzlies are a tough team to play this year is because at full strength, they have plenty of guys that can score both in their starting rotation and off-the-bench. Memphis finished the year with 7 guys averaging 10+ PPG on the season and both Desmond Bane and De’Anthony Melton finished averaging 9.2 PPG and 9.1 PPG respectively.
Memphis can play 11-12 guys deep sometimes and with their opponents not really knowing who is going to take the shot every possession, they are able to get the shots they want and pick apart their opponent’s defense. I expect this to happen again with the Grizzlies against the Spurs on Wednesday, resulting in Memphis scoring 120+ points.
