Grizzlies vs. Spurs play-in tournament odds

Spread: Grizzlies -3 (-112)
Moneyline: SAS (+120), MEM (-148)

This is the widest spread of the three play-in tournament matchups that we know about. We could see some movement here because neither team is very imposing. The Grizz get the edge in the paint with Jonas Valanciunas, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Brandon Clarke. Memphis also has Ja Morant and a bit more depth overall. My early lean is rolling with the Grizz at -3 at home in the one-game playoff.
