Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors (-4) Total: 229.5
The Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors are both on five-game winning streaks as they come into their final game of the regular season. Both teams will have their key pieces healthy for this afternoon’s game. These teams split a pair of games in Memphis earlier this season when Stephen Curry was out for both games. This will be the first time Ja Morant and Stephen Curry face each other.
The Grizzlies have been very good as road underdogs this season, sitting at 13-7 ATS on the year, including a 6-1 run over their last 7 games as road dogs. The Warriors have been just as good as home favorites this season, with a 12-6 ATS record.

This game opened up with the Warriors as 5-point favorites. PointsBet currently has Golden State as a 4-point favorite. The Public has taken a strong chance on the Warriors this afternoon. Over 60% of the spread tickets are backing the Warriors, yet the number is moving in the favor of the Grizzlies. In a game of this magnitude, it’s always a good idea to fade the public and back the sharp money. The smart bet in this game is the Grizzlies. I’m backing them on the spread and the money line. The Under should cash as well.
Edge: Grizzlies +4
