The San Antonio Spurs made a massive move on Sunday night, trading multiple draft picks in a three-team deal for De’Aaron Fox – setting themselves up with an All-Star running mate for Victor Wembanyama.

The move, which improved the Spurs’ odds to win the NBA Finals and make the playoffs this season, also sent Zach LaVine to the Kings while San Antonio shipped Tre Jones, Zach Collins and Sidy Cissoko out in the deal. 

Now, the Spurs have a matchup on Monday – one that Fox is highly unlikely to play in – against the No. 2-seeded Memphis Grizzlies. 

Memphis is coming off a big win over the Milwaukee Bucks – on the road – on Sunday night, and it is favored at home in this matchup. That’s a great sign for Memphis, although it may not have Ja Morant as he missed Sunday’s game. 

Here’s a full breakdown of the odds, players to watch in the prop market and my prediction for this Spurs-Grizzlies contest.

Spurs vs. Grizzlies Best NBA Prop Bets

San Antonio Spurs Best NBA Prop Bet

  • Chris Paul OVER 7.5 Assists (-145)

While Paul failed to clear this line in both of his games against Memphis last month, he's averaging 8.2 assists per game on the season, and the Grizzlies play at the fastest pace in the NBA -- leading to a ton of possessions.

Paul also could see an uptick in minutes after the Spurs traded away Tre Jones. That should open anywhere from 10-20 minutes at the point guard spot on Monday night. Paul still has eight or more assists in eight of his lst 15 games.

Memphis Grizzlies Best NBA Prop Bet

  • Desmond Bane OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-115)

Bane is coming off a nine-rebound game on Sunday night, and he's cleared 5.5 boards in five of his last eight games, including a matchup against the Spurs. In the 2024-25 season, Bane is averaging 5.7 rebounds per game, and the Spurs rank just 26th in the NBA in opponent rebounds per night.

Spurs vs. Grizzlies Prediction and Pick

San Antonio is going to be a little shorthanded on Monday because of the Fox trade, and it’s possible that Wemby (illness) is unable to go as well. 

There are several trends that benefit the Grizzlies here, starting with their impressive record as a home favorite (15-8) this season. 

Not only that, but Memphis is 6-1 against the spread on the second night of a back-to-back – the best mark in the NBA. 

While the Spurs are going to be much better in the future with Fox in the fold, they are just 23rd in the NBA in net rating over their last 10 games, posting a 3-7 record. In addition to that, the Spurs are 7-12 straight up on the road and an average 8-7 against the spread as road underdogs.

Even with the Grizzlies coming in on short rest, I think they can cover at FedExForum. 

Pick: Grizzlies -5 (-115)
