The Memphis Grizzlies welcome the Golden State Warriors into town for this battle between two of the Western Conference’s elite. The Grizzlies currently sit second in the West with a record of 53-23 and have been the talk of the league this season with their meteoric rise to second best record in the NBA. Memphis find themselves working with a rest advantage here as the Warriors are playing this one as the second game in back to back. Golden State has hit a bit of a road bump in recent games and have shown some inconsistency while the young Grizzlies continue to get better with every game. Memphis’ last game was a sensational 127-104 win against the defending champions Milwuakee and are riding a four game winning streak, while the Warriors have dropped two straight games with their latest a 125-117 loss to the Wizards.

It was clear that Memphis had a talented young team that could be a force in the future but nobody was expecting them to be this good, this soon. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this team is the fact that they are 16-2 without their all-pro level point guard and heartbeat of the team Ja Morant. Morant will be out for this one as the Murray State product continues to recover from a knee injury that has kept him out for five of the last six games. The other big talking point about this game in particular is that the Warriors are going to take the court without a single of their big three available to play. Head coach Steve Kerr told the media that Draymond Green and Klay Thompson will “most likely” sit out for this game and with Stephen Curry still rehabbing has caused the line to balloon to a massive double digit spread.
