OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper<\/a> Matt Rivers has a free winner Wednesday on the San Antonio\u00a0Spurs (-6.5) to Memphis.<\/p>\n

Reasoning: I hesitate in laying half a dozen points with a team that has played as badly as the Spurs have but with their\u00a0backs up against the wall I am going to do just that. Greg Popovich\u2019 team is as experienced and professional of a\u00a0team as there is out there making me feel that they will come through in this spot and at least live for one more day.<\/p>\n

I give Lionel Hollins\u2019 Grizzlies all the credit in the world for building this 3-1 lead. I definitely do not believe this is a fluke at all as Memphis has flat out played better basketball and right now may even be a better team. Zach Randolph is a beast and the young Grizz have manned up with guys like Conley, Gasol and others. But\u00a0a closeout game is never easy no less with a young and very inexperienced team on the road. It\u2019s just a tough\u00a0tough spot for Memphis to be able to succeed in. I can see them taking care of business at home in a game six scenario but not here in this spot tonight.<\/p>\n

Ginobili, Parker and Duncan\u00a0have been there and done that. They aren\u2019t going to panic and will not go down without a fight. The Spurs certainly\u00a0have been\u00a0regressing\u00a0since the\u00a0first 50 to 60 games of the regular season which were\u00a0magical and there have been some recent leaner times for sure.\u00a0But for this one night I do believe that San Antonio will reach deep and be able to muster a high quality effort as they are in survival mode.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not going to be easy but the Spurs are not going down in five games and I see them being able to cover this game in the end.<\/p>\n

For more information: <\/strong>Matt Rivers said Tuesday was the worst day I have had in a long, long time. It happens, now it\u2019s time to look forward and destroy that Crookie as per usual with a pair of plays. The run is still beyond belief and I will prove it one more time. 400,000* Denver-Oklahoma City plus a matinee affair on the diamond involving\u00a0the Braves and Padres. The winning ways are here for sure once again, that you can bet on! Click now to purchase<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
