Grizzlies at Warriors odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 108, Grizzlies 105
Money line
PASS on the money line with a slight “lean” to the Grizzlies +180.
Memphis beat Golden State in the Bay Area earlier this season, handing the Warriors their first loss. Memphis matches up well with Golden State and should compete with them.
Against the spread
BET on the GRIZZLIES +5.5 (-110) as a great value bet. The Warriors are down their second- and third-best scoring threat.
The player that typically slides into the starting lineup for Poole is out as well. The Dubs are short-handed and should struggle against an athletic Grizzlies.
Memphis ranks 8th in turnover rate and second in offensive rebounding. That’s a recipe for success, and it has worked against Golden State already this season.
I’d bank on this being a close game.
Over/Under
“LEAN” to the UNDER 217.5 (-108) as the Warriors are just missing too many key players.
They’ll likely put Moses Moody or Gary Payton II into the starting lineup along with Otto Porter Jr. Those are a few defensive-minded players that will only marginally contribute offensively.
With Morant having struggled since his return on the other side, I’ll take the fewer points as neither team turns the rock over. The Warriors top-of-the-league defense should also be a factor that helps bolster the Under.
