Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
The Golden State Warriors have been in great form as they’ve won 11 of their last 14 games overall, and they will be aiming for a third-straight victory after blowing past the Spurs in a 148-106 road win on Sunday. Brandin Podziemski led the team with 27 points, six rebounds, and five assists, Moses Moody added 20 points, Buddy Hield tallied 19 points off the bench, while Draymond Green chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Warriors shot a healthy 57 percent from the field and 21 of 44 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Spurs from the start and never looked in danger after dominating the first half by 68-44. The Warriors will face the Lakers and Nuggets following this one.
Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies have been in a slump, as they’ve lost six of their last seven games overall. They will be hoping to snap a three-game skid after getting routed by the Celtics in a 117-103 home defeat last night. Ja Morant led the team with 26 points, six rebounds, and five assists; Jaren Jackson Jr added 20 points with 15 rebounds, while Santi Aldama provided the spark off the bench with 21 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 44 from the 3-point line as they got off to a sloppy start. They allowed 41 points in the second quarter to squander an early 11-point lead before they went cold and managed just 18 points in the fourth quarter.

Grizzlies vs Warriors Prediction
The Warriors have ruled out Gary Payton II once again, and they have Jonathan Kuminga listed as questionable, while the Grizzlies are still playing without Brandon Clarke. These teams have already met three times this season, with the Warriors leading the series by 2-1, but the last time they met at the FedExForum resulted in a 144-93 win for the Grizzlies back on Dec. 19.
The Grizzlies could certainly pull off the upset at home, but I just don’t like their chances playing on the second night of a back-to-back set. This should be a close one, but I think the Warriors will do enough to get the win and cover on the road.
