Warriors` Strengths
The Warriors are coming off a dominant victory against the Spurs, where they showcased impressive shooting, making 21 three-pointers and shooting nearly 58% from the field. Key players like Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler didn`t need to exert themselves excessively in that game. Brandin Podziemski delivered a standout performance with 27 points, including seven three-pointers.
Since Butler joined the team, the Warriors have been strong, going 18-5. Their defense has also improved, ranking 8th in the league in points allowed per game recently. In contrast, the Grizzlies have struggled, losing six of their last seven games.
Grizzlies` Strengths
Memphis has faced tough competition recently, with home losses against the Lakers and Celtics. The Warriors will present another significant challenge. This game against the Warriors is the final game of a three-game home stand for the Grizzlies before they head out for a three-game road trip. It`s a vital game for their playoff seeding hopes.
The Grizzlies are now at full strength with Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Jaren Jackson Jr. all expected to play. Morant recently returned from injury and is working to regain his form and chemistry with the team. The Grizzlies` offensive talent could be a major factor in this game, especially if Warriors` player Jonathan Kuminga, who is questionable due to injury, is unable to play.
