On Sunday, May 16th the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors will meet for the third and final time this season. The teams played a back-to-back set on March 19th (116-103) won by Golden State and on March 20th (111-103) that the Grizzlies won.
This is one of the more compelling games of the final day of the season given these teams are fighting for position in the play-in tournament.
Eighth and ninth final seeding is on the line with the clear preference for eighth as that could mean playing only one match instead of two. And, the ninth-place finisher faces a one-game elimination playing the tenth seeded San Antonio Spurs.
The seventh seed won’t be confirmed until games Sunday but could feature either the Lakers or Blazers.
Last season, the squads played three times with Memphis taking two of the three contests. The Warriors hold the all-time record between the squads with 49 victories in the team’s 94 meetings.
Memphis Grizzlies
For the second season in a row, the Memphis Grizzlies will participate in the play-in tournament. They’re hoping to turn that opportunity into an actual playoff berth.

They arrive at this match on a five-game win streak with four wins coming against lottery teams (Raptors, Pelicans, and Kings twice) plus a victory against the Mavericks.
In the most recent win versus Sacramento, the Grizzlies elected to rest Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and the typical Grizzly starters in favor of saving them for this match.
The next man up rule was in full effect as Justise Winslow delivered a double-double of 25 points and 13 rebounds (both season highs). Killian Tillie also collected a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Xavier Tillman (16), John Konchar (15), and De’Anthony Melton (10) were the other double-figure contributors.
Grayson Allen (left abdominal soreness) and Sean McDermott (left foot soreness) are out.
Golden State Warriors
With the final game of the season upon the NBA, the Warriors like the Grizzlies bring a five-game winning streak into the final game.
Three victories came courtesy of lottery teams (Thunder twice, Pelicans) while two were impressive wins versus the Jazz and Suns.
The most recent win was Friday’s victory versus the Pelicans who pushed the Dubs (125-122) despite missing Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball.
Also in similar fashion to the Grizzlies the Dubs rested their core of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins.
Career best scoring by Jordan Poole (38 points) ended up being the difference for the Dubs with Mychal Mulder chipping in 28 points.
Definitely out are Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist soreness) and Damion Lee (health, safety protocols) while Klay Thompson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (knee) are out for the season.
