It's Spurs vs Grizzlies live stream time - the latest installment of the NBA's new play-in tournament (then we have a Warriors vs Lakers live stream) Look for the first of the two wins needed to lock in the eighth seed in the Western Conference playoffs in this NBA Playoffs live stream

The Spurs (33-39) find themselves back in the postseason after missing last year They are the 10th best team in the Western Conference and enter play-in action having won just twice in their last 12 games Veteran small forward DeMar DeRozen is still looking for postseason success since joining the Spurs from the Raptors in the deal that sent Kawhi Leonard to Toronto three seasons ago The Spurs have been the team's most successful team in the past three seasons, and the Spurs have been the team's most successful team in the past three seasons

The Grizzlies (38-34) have not experienced the postseason since 2017, when they lost in the first round to the Kawhi Leonard-led Spurs Memphis finished the regular season strong, winning six of its last eight games The Grizzlies can thank the play of three key contributors: second-year point guard Ja Morant led the team in scoring with just over 19 points per game, while Dillion Brooks and veteran center Jonas Valanciunas scored 17 points per game

The Grizzlies won the season series with the Spurs 2-1 and enter Wednesday night's game as 4-point favorites The over/under is 222 points

The NBA's 2020-2021 season began later than usual because last season was temporarily interrupted by COVID As a result, the NBA shortened the regular season from 82 to 72 games To make it up to the teams and fans, the association added a play-in tournament before the NBA playoffs

Instead of the top eight teams from each conference making the playoffs, the top ten teams are given a chance at the postseason The seventh-, eighth-, ninth-, and tenth-place teams from each conference will play in the play-in tournament to determine the seventh and eighth seeds for the playoffs The winner of Spurs-Grizzlies will play the loser of Warriors-Lakers
