    Memphis Grizzlies Could be Short-Handed vs. Warriors Monday

    Marc Gasol (knee), Mike Conley (foot) and Jeff Green (back) are all questionable with injuries and this is a big game for Memphis in regards to seeding, not the mention the Southwest Division race.

    The Grizzlies are in serious trouble, and they could be really shorthanded in a crucial game vs. the Warriors. Gasol is very tough and will likely do everything in his power to play, but his owners should have a backup plan ready. If Gasol is unable to play, Kosta Koufos would likely start and would be worth a look in deeper leagues. Expect another update after shootaround Monday.

    Might as well rest every body. Grizz need to be healthy for the playoffs. Winning the 2 seed and having Conley, Gasol, Allen, and Green limping does them no good. Golden state could help the cause and sit their starters too so that the spurs can't get the 2nd seed. I could definitely see that scenario.

    Last thing Memphis needs is hurting players for the playoffs. Next man up for regular season game.

    If I'm golden state I punish Memphis tonight for the sole reason to not play spurs until the conference finals. Maybe the two teams before WCF stretch out their series against the spurs.

    As a Rockets fan, I'm rooting to for Golden State. I want that #5 seed against Portland right now.

    But then you'd get Golden State in Round 2.

    Looks like the Warriors agree with me.

    41-18 fourth quarter with both teams playing their reserves. Grizzlies never really threatened though, didn't cut it to four until final seconds.
