- Where: FedEx Forum (Memphis, TN)
On Tuesday at FedExForum, the Golden State Warriors (43-31) will face the Memphis Grizzlies (44-31).
The Warriors hold a 2-1 advantage in their season series. They are on a strong six-game road trip, notching their second consecutive victory on Sunday by dominating the San Antonio Spurs 148-106.
This marked their highest point total of the season.
They easily covered as an 11.5-point favorite, with the Over (231.5) also cashing comfortably. All five starters scored in double digits, led by guard Brandin Podziemski, who contributed 27 points.
In contrast, the Grizzlies are struggling, losing six of their last seven games. Their most recent defeat was a 117-103 loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday.
Guard Ja Morant was the top scorer with 26 points, while forward Jaren Jackson Jr. posted a double-double with 20 points and 15 rebounds.
Golden State benefits from having a rest advantage, having played their last game on Sunday, while Memphis will be facing the challenge of a back-to-back after enduring their third consecutive loss.
Compounding their struggles, the Grizzlies recently parted ways with coach Taylor Jenkins on Friday.
On the other hand, the Warriors have been on a tear since acquiring Jimmy Butler, boasting an impressive 18-5 record post-trade.
They have successfully advanced from the play-in tournament to the sixth seed in the Western Conference, just one game behind the fifth-place Grizzlies and half a game ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
While Memphis has a strong offensive presence, their defensive struggles could pose a significant issue against a Warriors team that has demonstrated improvement.
Butler, a five-time All-Defensive selection, has made an immediate difference in their defensive efforts.
With the advantages of rest, momentum, and defensive capability, Golden State is well-positioned to maintain its winning streak and cover the modest spread on Tuesday night.
Best Bet: Warriors -4.5 points at -115 odds
