OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper<\/a> Matt Rivers \u00a0has an NBA lock Sunday and it is on the San Antonio Spurs (-7) to Memphis.<\/p>\n

Reasoning: It\u2019s funny because I really do like Zach Randolph and the Grizzlies and have faded the Spurs a ton this season citing their age as a negative. I still believe both are true but I also don\u2019t see it happening for the inexperienced visitors in this spot.<\/p>\n

Rudy Gay is still injured and today should be a bit of a different beast for this Memphis team. It\u2019s playoff time and I can see some jitters for the Grizzlies as they go up against a very seasoned team, with or without Manu Ginobili. Of course I hope Ginobili is able to go but I don\u2019t think he will and I\u2019m all right with that. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker have been there and done that and have enough in the tank right now to play at a world-class level. Throw in the likes of McDyess, Neal, Splitter, Jefferson, Blair and a few others and I just think this spot is going to be too much for the Grizz. In fact I can see the visitors be timid early and have that deer in headlights look as they fall behind in the vicinity of 32-15.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, the series overall is not going to be a runaway four game sweep. San Antonio could have an issue or two with Conley, Randolph, Gasol\u00a0and the rest of the talented 46 win Grizzlies. But game one in this particular spot is not the one that is conducive to a young Memphis team succeeding and overall this thing ends in a double-digit San Antonio victory.<\/p>\n

Top expert pick<\/a> on this game: San Antonio Spurs<\/p>\n

For more information: <\/strong>Yup, that\u2019s right, the only game I didn\u2019t win was rained out. The 400,000* Braves minus 1 \u00bd runs in the first game plus 120 and the 300,000* on the\u00a076ers once again buried that Crookie. It is truly just that easy. As I have been saying over and over and over again nothing at all changes today, nothing. Think about how large this sample has become, 30 winning days vs. 12 losing ones and a profit margin that is almost impossible to fathom!<\/p>\n

And now to the biggest weapon in my entire arsenal, as in I\u2019m hotter than the Burning Bush and today marks the highest rated play in the entire run. A 500,000* laugher is here in the NBA involving the Knicks and Celtics plus a pair of 200,000* on the diamond with the Mets and Braves\u00a0and Marlins and Phillies. Here is what I am going to say in just a few hours, \u201cbang, bang, bang, I did it again.\u201d Are you? Click now to purchase<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
