Memphis Grizzlies Preview
The Memphis Grizzlies have been the better side in the first two games of the series. After blowing a golden opportunity to win the first match, Ja Morant came up big for his side in the following game to lead the Grizzlies to a 106-101 win.
The reigning MIPOY scored 18 points in the fourth quarter to seal the victory for his side and level the series. Morant finished with a postseason career-high-tying 47-point game.
It was almost a one-man show by the 22-year-old as rookie Ziaire Williams was the only other player to make a significant impact offensively. Williams scored 14 points off the bench on 55% shooting, including four 3-point shots.
The Memphis Grizzlies will need to play better as a team and support Ja Morant if they are to beat the odds and steal a difficult road win against the Warriors.
Memphis Grizzlies Predicted Lineup
G - Ja Morant | G - Desmond Bane | F - Kyle Anderson | F - Jaren Jackson Jr. | C - Xavier Tillman.
Golden State Warriors Preview
The Golden State Warriors will be satisfied with the series tied 1-1 at this stage, with the next two games set to be played at home. However, they have a lot to figure out, especially on the defensive end of the floor, following their late-game collapse in the last match.
Along with that, Dubs will also need Klay Thompson to start firing on all cylinders. The sharpshooting guard could only produce 12 points in the last match, shooting a dismal five of 19 from the floor. The Warriors surprisingly struggled from the 3-point line as a team as well, shooting only seven of 38 from long range.
Steph Curry and Co. need to create better opportunities to have an edge on that front, as it has been one of their most lethal weapons on offense. The Golden State Warriors should look to make the most of their opportunity to play at home as winning the next two games will put them in the driver's seat to win this series.
Golden State Warriors Predicted Lineup
G - Steph Curry | G - Jordan Poole | F - Andrew Wiggins | F - Draymond Green | C - Kevin Looney.
