Two of the hottest teams in the NBA meet when the Grizzlies and Warriors square off in San Francisco for the second game of an ESPN doubleheader.
The Memphis Grizzlies lost in the last outing to the Lakers (128-123) after three straight victories making them 7-5 on the season. Memphis is still without stars Ja Morant and Desmond Bane but has Jaren Jackson leading the charge with 20-plus points in four straight and youngsters like Scotty Pippen Jr., Zach Edey and Santi Aldama.
The Golden State Warriors are 9-2 on the season and coming off an emotional win against Klay Thompson and the Mavericks. Golden State has won seven of the past eight games and is one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Stephen Curry is on a heater as well, scoring 36 and 37 points in the last two games and leading the team in winning four of the past five.

NBC Sports Betting Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Draymond Green to go Under his 20.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists prop against the Grizzlies:
“The Warriors are fresh off a thrilling home win over Klay Thompson and the Mavericks, so key players like Stephen Curry and Draymond Green may not be as motivated when they host the Memphis Grizzlies, who are missing Ja Morant and more key contributors.
The Grizzlies’ defense has been solid in recent games, ranking in the top seven across several categories over the past three games. They limit opponents to just 41.4% shooting from the field, 28% from three-point range, and just 107.0 points per game.
Draymond Green is coming off a strong performance, posting 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists in a season-high 32 minutes. Before that, he tallied 8 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists against Oklahoma City, marking two straight games where he checked his PRA line.
However, I’m looking to drop Green in this spot. With a career-low usage rate of just 13.5%, his involvement is minimal compared to other role players such as Taj Gibson, Nic Claxton, and Brandon Clarke. Given these trends and the situation, I take the Under 20.5 PRA at -130 odds.
Here are the best bets our model projects for the Grizzlies and the Warriors:
· Money line: NBC Sports finds confidence to take Golden State on the ML (-320)
· to spread: NBC Sports has strong confidence in Golden State -8 on the spread
· All in all: NBC Sports has low confidence in a play on the Total UNDER 235.0 points
