Grizzlies vs. Warriors Game Info

Memphis Grizzlies (38-34, 20-16 Away) vs. Golden State Warriors (39-33, 25-11 Home)
Date: Friday, May 21, 2021
Time: 9 p.m. EST
Venue: Chase Center — San Francisco, Calif.
Coverage: ESPN

The Grizzlies needed a win to position themselves with a chance to make the NBA Playoffs. They allowed the Spurs to fight their way back from a 19-point deficit. Ultimately, Jonas Valanciunas was too much for San Antonio to handle. Valanciunas finished the game with a 23-point, 23-rebound double-double, rounded out by three blocks. Dylan Brooks also was steady for Memphis, leading the team with 24 points. It will take big games from these two, as well as Ja Morant, to knock off Golden State tonight.

To nobody’s surprise, reffing leaned towards the Lakers in the last matchup. Tonight they will lean towards the Warriors. That’s simply the NBA. Stephen Curry obviously led the Warriors last game, putting up 37 points. However, he was not as efficient as he could have been, finishing with six turnovers. Draymond Green also had six turnovers and failed to make a shot from the floor. With Memphis having multiple weapons, someone from the Warriors without the last name of Curry will need to step up and have a solid game. While Curry is playing like an MVP, he needs at least a little bit of help.

Grizzlies vs. Warriors Prediction

The Warriors are tied as the best team against the spread in home games with a 23-13 record. The Grizzlies are equally good on the road at 22-14 against the spread . Golden State is also great as a favorite at 20-12 against the spread, while Memphis is 21-13 as an underdog.

However, experience will prevail, as will favoritism. We knew beforehand that the NBA would get both LeBron James and Curry into the playoff. Tonight they will ensure the Warriors win at home, and they have been covering machines. I expect the experience of both Curry and Green will shine through.

Prediction: Warriors -4.5
