The Memphis Grizzlies (18-9) host the floundering Golden State Warriors (14-11) at home in Memphis, where they have won seven straight games. The Grizzlies, second in the Western Conference, are the favorite to defeat a Warriors side with a 2-8 record from their last ten games. Although their season has hit a brick wall, the Warriors got some good news by being announced as the most valuable franchise in the NBA. Both sides lost their last game, with Memphis losing on the road at the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State losing to the Mavericks.

Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies lost for the first time in five with a 116-110 defeat at the Los Angeles Lakers. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the Grizzlies with 25 points, while Ja Morant added 20 points, and Zach Edey chipped in 13 points. The Grizzlies, who started the game with the stats of the NBA’s highest-scoring offense, were uncharacteristically blunt and trailed by the end of the first half. Before the loss, the Memphis Grizzlies had won four consecutive games, beating the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics, and the Sacramento Kings. They have won seven straight home games.

After starting the season 12-3, the Golden State Warriors visit Memphis with a 2-8 record. Coach Steve Kerr has used the transfer window to shore up his roster, adding Denis Schroder with a trade with the Brooklyn Nets. A point guard, Schroder, will likely be in the mix Thursday night against Memphis. He averages 18.4 points, 6.6 assists, and 38.7% in field shooting. The Warriors have lost their last two games coming into this matchup, losing by one point to the Houston Rockets and by ten to the Dallas Mavericks. Against the Mavericks, Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors with 29 points.
We need to take some burden off Steph. He’s had to take on, I think, an abnormal load this year of responsibility offensively. What we’ve missed is another pick-and-roll player so that Steph doesn’t have to run so much pick-and-roll all game and wear himself down.
