Bookmaker analysts believe the Memphis Grizzlies are the clear favourites to win this game. It’s hard to disagree with them. The Golden State Warriors are unlikely to win without their leaders. The support of the fans is unlikely to help them as well. The Grizzlies will need to win on the road.
The Golden State Warriors’ defensive play has been completely out of whack of late. Steve Kerr’s squad has allowed over 270 points in the last two games. There’s no indication yet that the Warriors will be able to improve their defensive play in the upcoming game. The Warriors are conceding an average of 117 points per game this season.
Without Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors cannot make much progress. The team leader has already missed four games because of a shoulder injury.
