Golden State Warriors vs Memphis Grizzlies starting lineups and depth charts for February 2 | 2023-24 NBA Season 

The Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies reignite their rivalry on Friday night at FedExForum. The Warriors suffered an embarrassing defeat when the teams last met on Jan. 15 at the same venue. The Grizzlies were without four starters and several other rotation players but still won 116-107 despite the Warriors being nearly healthy.

Sophomore Vince Williams Jr. and rookie GG Jackson emerged as the unlikely heroes in that improbable win for Memphis. The former had 24 points, while the latter finished with 23 points as the inexperienced Grizzlies dominated on national TV.

The Warriors will hope to get their lick back on Friday night.

Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies key matchups

The Warriors and Grizzlies key matchups will determine the outcome of the game. The first is between Jonathan Kuminga and Jaren Jackson Jr. Both forwards have been in excellent form and are likely to go up against each other for most of the game. The winner in that battle could significantly have a say in the grand scheme of things.

The second key matchup is between the Steph Curry and the Grizzlies defense. Curry's not the type of player who can be limited in one-on-one coverage. It will take a team effort for Memphis to prevent Curry from having a big outing.
