Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies Preview

On the season the Warriors are 49-39-1 ATS and they have an O/U record of 40-48-1 and the Grizzlies are 45-42-3 ATS and they have an O/U record of 36-52-2.

This season the Grizzlies are 35-10 at home and the Warriors are 30-14 on the road.

In Game 3 of this series the Grizzlies beat the Warriors 99-89.

The Grizzlies have a 2-1 lead in this series winning the last 2 games and they have done it with their solid defense. This season the Warriors were the highest scoring team in the league, but the Griz have shut them down. In the last 2 games the Warriors have scored 90 points and 89 points, which is well below their 110 ppg average.

The Warriors have also gone cold from deep in the last 2 games. They shot nearly 40% from beyond the 3-point arc in the regular season, but in the last 2 games they have missed 20 of their 26 3-pointers.

The Splash Brothers of Stephen Curry and Klay Thomson have to pace the Warriors with their scoring. Thomson was solid in the Game 3 loss, but while Curry had 23 points he was 8/21 from the floor and missed 8 of his 10 3-pointers. For the seris Curry is shooting less than 40% from the floor.

The Warriors have to do a better job of taking care of the rock, as they are averaging over 17 turnovers per game in this series. In Game 3 they had 17 turnovers, which led to 22 points.

The Grizzlies scored 46 points in the paint in Game 3 with Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol combining for 43 points. On top of that they also combined for 23 rebounds and the Warriors big men have to play better interior D against this duo.

The Grizzlies have not had great shooting games in their last 2 wins, but their D has carried them. If they can make this a low scoring affair tonight they will go up 3-1 in this series.

The Warriors have not lost 3 straight games since November of 2013.
