Point Spread: 3.50 | -105.00 Memphis (Home)
Result: Loss
The Warriors have been untouchable lately, making the opposition look unworthy. They crushed the Blazers in Portland on Tuesday, clinching the Pacific Division. They own an 8.5 game lead on the second place Grizzlies in the West, and they face the Grizz in Memphis tonight. This looks like a let down spot for the visitors.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Home Cookin' - The Grizz are a solid 27-8 at home, and they've won four of their last five home meetings with Golden State. The Warriors have only covered four of their last 13 on the road.
2. Previous History - Memphis has had the better of this series in recent years, winning eight of the last 10 meetings. Golden State isn't the only elite team that they play well against, they are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine versus teams with a winning percentage over .600.
3. X-Factor - The Grizzlies own the league's #2 ranked scoring defense, allowing an average of just 95.4 points per game.
Selection: This is a play on the Memphis Grizzlies (10*)
