Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Warriors Points Under 111.5 – 1.83.
Morant’s absence shouldn’t affect Memphis’ play. In fact, very often the Grizzlies perform even better without their leader than they do with him. Morant’s absence forces Jenkins’s men to play as a team. That’s the strength of the team.
However, all the Warriors’ leaders are in place and it will be hard for the Grizzlies to get a win.
Two of the last three games between these teams have been low-scoring. The Memphis Grizzlies have nowhere to fall back. A defeat would force them to stop fighting for the title. With that in mind, we think the home team will play aggressively, but cautiously.
In 3 of the last 5 games, the Warriors have not scored more than 111.5 points.
The Memphis Grizzlies need to fight back or say goodbye to the NBA. The Grizzlies couldn’t afford to lose any more. A 98-101 defeat in California pretty much sealed their chances of moving on.
In the fourth game of the series, Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 21 points and 5 rebounds.

The Grizzlies have a tough task at the moment. The team from Tennessee is losing the series (1-3). To advance to the finals, they must win three games in a row. Any loss equals elimination. Only a miracle can save them.
The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Timberwolves (4-2) in the first round of the playoffs.
Golden State Warriors:
The whole basketball world is shouting about a new achievement of Steph. The Golden State Warriors shooting guard set a new bar in the NBA. The first basketball player in league history to make 500 three-pointers.
In the game against the Grizzlies, Steph Curry scored 32 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.
Together through it all.
