Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors Preview
On the season the Grizzlies are 43-42-3 ATS and they have an O/U record of 36-50-2 and the Warriors are 49-37-1 ATS and they have an O/U record of 40-46-1.
[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
This season the Warriors are 42-2 at home and the Grizzlies are 25-19 on the road.
In Game 1 of this 7-game series the Warriors beat the Grizzlies 101-86.
Stephen Curry was named the MVP this season and while he did not have a huge scoring game in Game 1 he showed why going for a team high 22 points and hitting 4 of his 8 3-pointers.

The Grizzlies missed Mike Conley in the game and he is questionable for tonight’s game.
They not only miss his defensive play, but his offense as well and in Game 1 the Grizzlies committed 16 turnovers. When the Grizzlies do not have a major outside threat, like Conley gives, they tend to struggle, as teams can pack the paint to stop Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph.
While this duo did combine for 41 points in Game 1 and SF Tony Allen went for 15 points no other Memphis player scoring in double figures.
The Warriors have won 21 straight home games.
A couple of the reasons that the Warriors won comfortably in Game 1 was that they scored 21 points off the fast break and they hit 13 of their 28 3-pointers while the Grizzlies missed 9 of 12.
The Warriors were up 7 points in Game 1 after the first quarter and 9 at the half and the Grizzlies have to keep this game close in the beginning, as they are not a high scoring team.
The Warriors shot 50.6% from the floor in Game 1 facing a Memphis team that ranks 2nd in the league on defense in terms of opponents’ points allowed.
[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Warriors’ reserves really helped out the starting 5, as they scored 30 points in Game 1 on 48% shooting.
For the Grizzlies to win Game 2 they have to get more balanced scoring and keep the Warriors from bombing away from deep.
