Grizzlies vs. Warriors Game Info
Memphis Grizzlies (38-33, 20-15 Away) vs. Golden State Warriors (38-33, 24-11 Home)
Date: Sunday, May 16, 2021
Time: 3:30 p.m. EST
Venue: Chase Center — San Francisco, Calif.
Coverage: ESPN
Memphis has ended the season hot, winning their past five games. A big reason for this has been their frontcourt success. Jonas Valanciunas is fully healthy and has rattled off four consecutive double-doubles. He has been able to finish with a 20-10 night without having to think much about it. The other big key to the Grizzlies’ success has been the return of Jaren Jackson Jr. Jackson has his workload monitored, but his presence is felt when he is on the court. He has averaged 15.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks over his last five games. He will be a tough matchup for the Warriors.
Speaking of tough matchup, Stephen Curry has been playing like an MVP, and there isn’t much defense that can throw him off. He is averaging 36.7 points on 49.6% shooting, 6.4 made 3’s, 5.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game since the start of April. What puts this team over the top is the help he has gotten from Andrew Wiggins lately. Since the start of May, Wiggins has averaged 22.9 points on 51.6% shooting. If he can keep up this efficiency, the Warriors should be in the NBA Playoffs.

Grizzlies vs. Warriors Prediction
The Grizzlies are terrific on the road, owning a 22-13 record against the spread. The Warriors are equally good at home, also owning a 22-13 record against the spread. This simply comes down to experience and having the ability to win the big game. Memphis is inexperienced in this department. The Warriors have both Curry and Draymond Green, who know how to win. Curry is also the only superstar in this game, and these are the moments where he is supposed to step up and win a game. I am predicting he will do just that.
Prediction: Warriors -4
