Let's dive into the Grizzlies vs Warriors match-up now!
Memphis Grizzlies 11+ Win Margin (+220)
It was a rather disappointing 6-game road trip for the Warriors, with just 1 win and 5 losses. They suffered 4 losses by double-digits, with their last 2 being by 38 and 30 at the hands of the Knicks and Nets. The long list of injuries is mainly to be blamed for that, right now the Warriors are without Andre Iguodala, Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, JaMychal Green and Donte DiVincenzo. That's not the news you want to hear when facing one of the biggest threats to dethrone you in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies are surging right now with 8 wins in their last 10 games. They've also beaten the Warriors two games in a row and in 3 of the last 4 meetings, with their last win coming at home 123-95. Desmond Bane just returned from injury, so Memphis will only get better as the season progresses. After seeing the Warriors get dismantled on the road by the Knicks and Nets, I think they'll need some time to bounce back. Back Memphis to win big here.
