Memphis Grizzlies Form


Memphis head to California on level terms after winning Game 2 of his Western Conference semi-final.

The Grizzlies dropped their home opener, 117-116, to Golden State last Sunday night.

But just like in the previous round when they lost the home opener to Minnesota, they immediately hit back.

Memphis ran out 106-101 winners to even up the series ahead of back-to-back road games.

Ja Morant produced a sensational performance to lead the Grizzlies to victory, pouring in 47 points while recorded eight rebounds, eight assists and three steals.

Jaren Jackson Jr was the only other starter to hit double digits in scoring, but he shot just 21.4% from the field to finish with 12 points.

Ziaire Williams had the biggest impact off the bench with 14 points and five rebounds.

Golden State Warriors Form


Golden State return home in good shape after splitting their two road games to start the series.

The Warriors, who downed Denver 4-1 in the previous round, drew first blood in this Western Conference semi-final.

It was a close call though, as Ja Morant missed a last-gasp layup to hand a 117-116 win to the Warriors.

Golden State failed to make it back-to-back road wins though, losing 106-101 in Game 2.

Stephen Curry finished the game with 27 points, nine rebounds and eight assist, but he was just 3/11 from three-point range.

Klay Thompson also struggled from beyond the arc, going 2/12 as he finished the game with 12 points.

Jordan Poole, who played a major role in the Game 1 win, made an impact off the bench as he put up 20 points and five assists.

Verdict


Golden State are favorites and it is tough to bet against them winning at home.

Memphis have repeatedly covered against the Warriors though, so we are backing them with the points.

Spread – Memphis +6.5 @ -110
