NBA Playoff Game 6 Betting – San Antonio Spurs vs. Memphis Grizzlies – Free Pick
[ad#Betus-250]This game is to be played on Friday, April 29, 2011 at the FedEx Center in Memphis, Tennessee.
San Antonio Spurs get another chance to play after a last second shot goes in. They will face the Memphis Grizzlies in Games 6 of the Western Conference quarterfinals. Spurs forward Tim Duncan’s playing time was over 39 minutes in Game 4, a season high for the big man. Can he bounce back after just one day of rest?
Gary Neal is the hero of San Antonio after his 3-pointer at the buzzer in regulation and eventually defeated Memphis 113-110. Manu Ginobilli came up big with 33 points and six rebounds with six assists and four steals to lead the team followed by Tony Parker and his nine assists and 24 points. The spurs were humiliated in Game 4 and came back to avenge the loss in Memphis. The Spurs have lost 8 of their last 9 road games. If you are going to bet on basketball, then now is a good time to do so.
Memphis is demoralized by having the victory snatched away from them. Zach Randoplh led the team in the game with 11 rebounds and 26 points. It was his short jumper that put them ahead just before Neal’s heroics. They now have two chances to put the Spurs away in this best of seven series. Marc Gasol chipped in with 17 rebounds but shot poorly to keep his team from winning. If they accomplish that they will be only the second #8 seed to defeat a #1 seed in the first round. Memphis has won four in a row at home.
The Spurs have the veteran leadership and can actually find a way to keep this series going. Memphis has the youngsters that are not as likely to be worn out from a seven game series. With this game at the FedEx Center in Memphis is a huge boost for the Grizzlies. Some things to consider with the odds Memphis -3 are the Grizzlies are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 Conference Quarterfinals games and they are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning road record along with that the Grizzlies are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite. Our pick is for the fresh legs to win and cover the spread.
