Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
I’ve faded the Grizzlies a lot this season, and I’m not thrilled with the way they’re playing currently. The Grizzlies have also failed to cover seven of their last 10 games. The Warriors should be favored and should win at home, but this is a lot of points. The Warriors played a lot of minutes on Sunday in hopes of avoiding this game, and Butler banged knees, which had him limping around. Curry is also dealing with an injured thumb.
The Grizzlies are the more rested team, and they have a size advantage that could give the Warriors fits. Also, the Warriors are 5-8-2 ATS in their last 15 games as favorites of five or more points. The Warriors have two losses this month as a favorite of five or more points. We also can’t ignore that the Warriors are 0-3 in the play-in tournament. The Warriors should end that drought, but the Grizzlies should hang around and make things hairy. Give me the points.
