Home side won all four Memphis-San Antonio games this season; two games in Memphis went over, two in Alamo stayed under. Grizzlies did cover all four games- they were 9-3 vs spread in last 12 games overall, 12-5 in last 17 games as an underdog. Spurs got bored down stretch and were 4-8 in last dozen games. Five of Grizzlies' last seven games stayed under total.
Lakers were 4-0 vs New Orleans this season (3-1 vs spread) winning by 4-18 points in two games at Staples; over was 2-1-1 in the series. Lakers got bored down stretch and lost five games in row, before winning by 9-16 points in last two games- they're 5-9 vs spread in last 14 games as a favorite.

Boston was 4-0 against the Knicks this season (2-2 vs spread), winning here by 4-10 points; three of last four games went over the total. Celtics were just 6-7 in their last 13 games, 3-5-1 in last nine games as a favorite. Knicks are 3-5 in last eight games as a dog; their biggest weakness will be defense inside, but with Shaq out hurt, can Celtics exploit the weakness?
