Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors preview
The Grizzlies are coming off a 128-123 loss to the LA Lakers on Wednesday. They had the lead until the end of the third quarter, but LA’s 37-27 finish in the fourth quarter gave it the win. Jaren Jackson led Memphis with 29 points.
Memphis has one of the best young squads in the league, but injuries continue to be a concern for the team. Even on Friday, it will be without Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, along with others.
The Warriors have shown new life this season after two lackluster years. Coach Steve Kerr has deployed nearly 12-13 players every game, and the formula seems to be working. In their last game on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks, the Warriors won 120-117 behind Steph Curry’s 37 points, nine points and seven rebounds.
Golden State trailed by six points with just over three minutes left in the game. However, Curry outscored Dallas 12-3 the rest of the way to spoil Klay Thompson’s return to the Bay in a different uniform.

Jaren Jackson’s points total is set at 22.5. With Ja Morant out, he should be the offensive lead and score over 22.5 points.
Steph Curry’s point total is set at 26.5. He started the season slow but has picked up pace in the past two games where he scored 36 and 37 points, respectively. Expect the Warriors guard to have a great game on Friday as well.
Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors prediction
The Warriors are favored to win this matchup. Golden State has been prolific to start the season, and an injury-laden Memphis team should find it tough to upset the Warriors. Bet on Curry and Co. to cover the spread for a win. This should be a relatively low-scoring contest, with the Warriors defense limiting Memphis’ offense. The team total should stay under 234 points.
