Golden State Warriors Team News
Just like last season, the Warriors struggled a lot during the regular part of the season, primarily with injuries, but also with form. But during the season and as the playoffs approached, their form got better and better. In the end, they took a walk through the West, and in the end, beat the Celtics 4:2, and won a new title.
They are currently 15-18, ranked eleventh in the West, but have a lot of injury issues. Curry injured his shoulder and is out for several weeks. A big problem for the Warriors lately is their defense, and they concede a lot of points on average, almost regularly over 120. In the last ten games, they have been conceded as many as 8 times.
In the last match, the Brooklyn Nets defeated them with 30 points, and James Wiseman was the most effective player in that match for the Warriors with 30 points, while Baldwin and Moody added 17 each.
Memphis Grizzlies Team News
The team from Memphis is playing very well this season. They are 19-11 and currently tied for first place with the Denver Nuggets. This is not a surprise, especially considering last season when they were the real hit of the league. This season they have a lot of problems with injuries, and we believe that if they were just a little healthier, they would have a much better score.
Just like last season, they work on the drive of the fantastic Ja Morant, who leads the team in points, but has also improved defensively. A big disadvantage for the Memphis team was the absence of the team’s best shooter, Desmond Bane, who, in addition to the three-point shot, also contributes a lot in defense, but returned to the lineup a few games ago. This season, Jackson Jr. is playing great and brought a lot of width in the attack. A tall player who is excellent defensively and can spread.
In the last match, they very easily beat one of the best teams in the league, Phoneix Suns, with a difference of almost 20 points. The most effective in this match were tall wings, Clarke and Jackson, with 24 points, while the returning Bane added 17 points.

Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
In the match against the Suns, the Grizzlies showed that they are a very compact team that is ready to take a step forward this year. The Warriors are champions and an experienced team, but we believe that the Grizzlies can win this match and score 120 points.
The Warriors enter this match very weakened without almost the entire first five. Wiggins, Curry, Draymond, Jamychal Green, and Andre Igoudala will not be in the lineup. While there will be no Danny Green for the Grizzlies.
