Golden State Warriors Preview
The Golden State Warriors ended their run of two consecutive defeats with a brilliant win last weekend. With that, they have reclaimed top spot in the West, but are tied with the Suns, which makes this game a must-win for them.
Stephen Curry had a good game against the Cavs. That suggests that he might have got over his shooting slump, which had started to affect the team's performances.
With Thompson faring well on his return, the Warriors now have another player who can fire in all circumstances. The game against the Grizzlies is going to be a tough one in Draymond Green's absence. So the team will have to collectively put on a good defensive show to get the better of the strong Memphis offense.

Key Player - Stephen Curry
Stephen Curry's recent dip in form has seen him slide down the MVP ladder. However, Curry doesn't take too long to recover his mojo. The 33-year-old scored 28 points against the Cavs, which helped his team return to winning ways. He will hope to put in a big performance against the Grizzlies and continue his return to form.

Memphis Grizzlies Preview
The Memphis Grizzlies look to be one of the best teams in the NBA at the moment. They have been brilliant at both ends of the floor, which has helped them immensely in recent games.
They are currently fourth in the West, with a 28-14 record on the season. A win in this game will help them put pressure on the Jazz, who are only marginally ahead of them.
Over the years, the Warriors have had a lot of trouble against Memphis. The Grizzlies were the first team to beat the Warriors this season. Given their recent run of form, the Grizzlies will once again fancy their chances against the Warriors and extend their winning streak to ten games.

Key Player - Ja Morant
Ja Morant has been a man on a mission since his return from injury. After facing a lot of heat at the start, he has proved his doubters wrong by putting up some big performances.
He is averaging 29.14 PPG in his last seven appearances, which has played a key role in the Grizzlies' brilliant recent form. The 22-year-old will hope to put in another big performance against the Warriors, and help his team solidify their position in the West.
