Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
This series hasn't disappointed. The Warriors stole Game 1 from the Grizzlies but Memphis took one right back at home to even the series at one. Ja Morant tallied 47 points to help the Grizzlies take Game 2. However, the Grizzlies shot just 39.6% from the field and ended up losing the rebounding battle by five. Golden State was also more connected offensively, earning 10 more assists in the game. The Warriors ended up turning the ball over five more times, but even with that, the Warriors scored five more points off turnovers in Game 2. The Warriors lost this game by shooting 18.4% from three off 38 attempts. At home, Golden State will be more efficient.
Get 20/1 Odds on a 3-Pointer being scored in Warriors vs Grizzlies Klay Thompson was just 2-for-12 from three while Steph Curry was 3-for-11 from three. The Grizzlies needed extremely bad performances by the Warriors from deep and also needed Ja Morant to put up nearly 50 points just to squeak by the Warriors in Game 2. What I'm getting at is that everything went right for the Grizzlies and a lot went wrong for the Warriors. Still, the Warriors were in the game throughout and lost by just five points on the road. Look for the Warriors to get their shooting mojo back. On top of that, look for the Warriors to have a plan against Ja Morant. They've got to make other guys step up like Desmond Bane, for example. Bane, like Thompson and Curry, could have an off-shooting night as well. Anyway, back the Warriors at home to take the lead in the series.
