This is a good spot for Warriors that opened at -1.5 vs the 6 game winning streak Memphis Grizzlies. Here are some of my reasoning's why I'm picking Golden State.
-Motivational edge: Warriors loss a close one to a bs call vs the Pacers. Their effort was outstanding given they came back from a long road trip coming from NJ and that consisted of playing 4 games in 5 days with one day rest before playing the Pacers. So I expect the Warriors and especially Monte to come out angry and post their 1st win at home in this long home stand with more energy and motivation in the tank.
-Stephen Curry is back and playing that Pacers game should've put him back in a groove and help spread the floor.
-Grizzlies is flying in from Memphis from playing their own B2B games. Even though they won 6 straight, it was against weak competition except the revenge game against the Bulls. Also helps that they play the Blazers tomorrow.
Considering they are on a 6 game winning streak, you would think Grizzlies should be a favorite. I would have loved getting 2-4 pts at home. But anyways, this is the angle I'm seeing and taking. Wish me luck!
