Grizzlies vs Warriors Prediction
The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors have looked good in their games this season with their 48-34 record overall which has them right in the middle of the West, but a really good and competitive Western Conference has them playing in the play-in tournament. They have looked good on their home court though with their 24-17 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have looked good in their games this season with their 48-34 record overall, but that record also has them in the play-in tournament with the way things settled in the strong Western Conference. They have been a good road team too with their 22-19 road record this year, but they definitely haven't been at their best in those games. The Grizzlies ended their regular season with a win over the Mavericks, but they really haven't looked that good lately. They are 4-6 in their last 10 games and were struggling so much down the stretch that they fired their head coach. They aren't in the best position coming into this tournament and they will be on the road against the Warriors who really turned their season around with a trade for Jimmy Butler. They ended the season with an overtime loss to the Clippers in a game that could have kept them out of this tournament, but they are still 7-3 in their last 10 games and have been really hot since acquiring Jimmy Butler. Butler turned a mediocre Warriors team into a true contender and they are going to come out with their best effort at home to secure that 7th seed in the West and avoid playing another game in this tournament. The Warriors have been the hotter team lately, but they are also the better team overall. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“They just added Jimmy Butler (in a trade), so it’s going to be even much harder. And we’re going to play there, too. Honestly, we just got to go in there and work hard, do what we supposed to do and hopefully come out on top.” - Vince Williams Jr on playing the Warriors in the play-in tournament.
“I haven’t loved it because we’ve been on the wrong end of it. We're 0-3 in these play-in games. And so, you finish in the top eight, you feel like you should be in the playoffs. On the other hand, it’s been great for the league. If you’re eighth and-or seventh, well, you had 82 games to do better — and you didn’t do better.” - Steve Kerr on his team playing in the play-in tournament.
