Golden State Warriors vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction
There's no reason for the Memphis Grizzlies to compete in this game, as they're banged up and on the end of a back to back. The Golden State Warriors have the rest advantage, and they need to get fat on these games to keep pace in the standings. With all that said, the Grizzlies remain a feisty bunch that plays hard, and it's led to 6 straight covers. The Warriors also continue to underachieve, and there are a lot of bizarre results on their resume. I'm grabbing the points with the Grizzlies if forced to pick here.
