The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors have looked good in their games this season with their 43-31 record overall which has them in the top half of the West and in a playoff spot. They have been a good road team too with their 20-17 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have looked good in their games this season with their 44-30 record overall which has them in the top half of the West and in a playoff spot. They have looked great on their home court too with their 25-12 home record. The Grizzlies have been a top team in the West for a lot of the season, but lately they have been sliding down the standings a bit as they haven't looked that great. They are only 4-6 in their last 10 games and have lost 2 games in a row now. They just fired their head coach even though they are a playoff team, and they aren't in a great situation here either. They are playing this game on a back-to-back so they won't have any rest on their side, and they have a really tough game against the defending champions, the Celtics. This is a really tough stretch of games for them and they are running into a Warriors team that has been really hot lately. The Warriors are 7-3 in their last 10 games and they have won 2 games in a row now. They have the momentum on their side here, and they are still fighting to secure a true playoff spot in the West, avoiding the play-in tournament. The Warriors have been rolling lately and they will bring their best effort here to take advantage of a struggling Grizzlies team in a bad situation. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

“Such a bummer. [He was] just coming back, finding his rhythm, playing well. So, hopefully, it’s nothing too serious.” - Steve Kerr on the injury to Jonathan Kuminga.

“Well, if you look at the Lakers' substitution patterns, they bring in about six minutes, they bring in smaller guys for Hayes, and wanted to match up Zach with Hayes, and I thought he had a good game, but he can be better. In the beginning, I think he could have done a better job of pick and roll defense, but like you said, as the game went on, he was better and better.” - Tuomas Iisalo on Zach Edey after his team’s loss against the LA Lakers in their game on Saturday.
