Advice and prediction
With a final spot in the postseason on the line, the Golden State Warriors will host the Memphis Grizzlies in a rematch of Sunday’s regular-season finale at Chase Center. On Sunday, Curry torched the Grizzlies for 46 points to seal a 113-101 win for the Warriors. Yet, expect Friday’s contest to be slightly different if Dillon Brooks can stay on the floor.
The Grizzlies guard was able to defend Curry well, swarming the sharpshooter up and down the court. Despite his solid defense, Brooks fouled out of the contest with the game tied at six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. With Brooks on the bench, the Warriors surged past the Grizzlies.
If Brooks can stay out of foul trouble, the Grizzlies have a better chance of hanging with the Warriors. However, the chances of Curry letting his MVP campaign come to an end seem slim. While the Grizzlies could keep the game close, betting against Curry right now doesn’t feel safe.
Best Bet: Over 221.5
Prediction: Warriors 116, Grizzlies 110
