ROGERS' 10* WESTERN CONF TOTAL OF THE WEEK: 2-0 NBA FRIDAY!
(NBA) Memphis vs. Golden State,
Total: 225.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Grizzlies and Warriors are squared away at one game each. The two games have been decided by a total of six points and Memphis has covered the spread both times. They were slight underdogs at home and only lost Game 1 by a single point.

As they hit the road for the first time in the series, Memphis will do so without Dillon Brooks, who is suspended for Game 3 due to injuring Gary Payton II. Though Brooks had contributed only eight points in the second round, he is considered a major loss here. In the first round series with Minnesota, Brooks had three games of 23 or more points.

Payton had been a surprise starter in the first two games for Golden State, after coming off the bench in the first round. The Warriors are now going to be forced to rely more on Andrew Wiggins - at both ends of the floor.

Andre Iguodala is also out for the Warriors. But perhaps the greater concern is that the team shot 7 of 38 on three-pointers in Game 2. They’ll shoot a higher percentage tonight, but I don’t think it will be enough to send this game Over the total.

Game 1 did go Over, but that total opened 10 points lower than the closing O/U line for Game 2, which went Under. The Under is 4-0 the last four times Golden State has been off a loss. The Under is 6-2 in Memphis’ last eight road games.
