This Wednesday, the (31-16) Memphis Grizzlies will travel to San Francisco, CA to take on the (23-24) Golden State Warriors. Tipoff will be at 10:00 PM EST inside the Chase Center. This will be the second time that these two teams have matched up this season, as the Warriors won the last meeting, 123-109. These two teams have had issues in the past and I am expecting a battle in this one!
The Memphis Grizzlies are coming into this one after falling to the Sacramento Kings, 133-100. They struggled on both ends of the floor, as they will have to be more aggressive in this one if they want to challenge the defending Champions.
The Golden State Warriors are entering this game after losing to the Brooklyn nets, 120-116. They struggled on the defensive end of the court, as they will have to apply more pressure in this one if they want to defend their home court against the Grizzlies.
