San Antonio Spurs vs. Memphis Grizzlies: Game 5 Prediction, Betting Odds, Live Stream Info

After a stunning overtime victory in Game 4, the Memphis Grizzlies visit the AT&T Center seeking an improbable upset against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.

“I expect another epic game,” Grizzlies coach David Fizdale said about Game 5. “That last game was an epic game. You’ve got two hard-playing teams, two well-prepared teams. They’ve got that championship pedigree so that tells me right there that there will be no letdown from them. They’re fuming right now, ready to get back and play. We’ve got to be ready to go in there and earn it.”

The Grizzlies pulled off a tight victory on Saturday despite 22 turnovers and conceding 43 points to Kawhi Leonard. The 25-year-old has torched the Grizzlies, averaging 32.5 points per game on 58 percent shooting in the series. Leonard has also overwhelmed Memphis on the glass, averaging 6.5 rebounds in the playoffs and 8.7 in three regular-season games after averaging 5.8 overall in the regular season.

Fizdale was visibly exasperated in a postgame press conference by how to contain the versatile forward, who has proven he can score on just about anywhere on the court.

"Honestly, I'm taking suggestions on how to guard Kawhi Leonard," Fizdale said. "I've tried everything, and the guy's just—he's tough. Man, is he a superstar."

It's understandable for the first-year coach to feel frustrated by Leonard's performance. Memphis could probably use Tony Allen, who remains sidelined with a calf injury, to perhaps get some opportunities to defend Leonard, because players like JaMychal Green may be a bit overwhelmed.

Leonard aside, the Grizzlies defense will certainly be tested against a Spurs team that finished third in three-point percentage (40.3) at home in the regular season and sixth in rebound differential (2.1). Memphis finished with a 19-22 road record this season and will need at least one road win to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

The Grizzlies poor shooting in Game 4 is nothing new, considering they finished last in home field-goal percentage (42.7) in the regular season. Fizdale may need someone new to step up since the offense has mainly revolved around two players.

Center Marc Gasol has seen an uptick in points, field-goal percentage and rebounds in the series, but the biggest contributor has been Mike Conley. The veteran point guard has given the Spurs fits, averaging 24 points, 48.5 percent shooting and 7.8 assists. In Game 4, Conley came within a rebound and two assists from a triple-double while pounding the Spurs for 35 points on 13-23 shooting.

Gregg Popovich might rely on his depth in Game 5. In the first two games of the series at the AT&T Center, the bench contributed 39 of the Spurs' 111 points in Game 1 and 19 of the team's 96 points in Game 2. Popovich will have center Dewayne Dedmon in Game 5.

Betting Odds: Spurs by 10.5

Prediction: The Grizzlies will likely come out stronger than in Game 1 and Game 2, but the Spurs are too talented and too experienced to allow an upset on their home floor in a game that would put their backs up against the wall with a return trip to Memphis looming. Expect the Spurs to spread the scoring around in Game 5 and come away with a solid victory.
