Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors preview

The Grizzlies (23-46) are one of the best young teams in the league but their season has been derailed with injuries.

Memphis is 13th in the West with almost no chance of making it to the playoffs. The Grizzlies are on a three-game losing streak, including a 121-111 defeat against the Sacramento Kings on Monday.

The Warriors (35-32) have been one of the most intriguing teams this season, losing games they probably should have won and blowing out contenders by double-digits.

Most recently. Golden State lost 119-112 against the New York Knicks on Monday. The Warriors, who are 10th in the West, need to be nearly perfect in their remaining 15 games.

Desmond Bane has an over/under of 23.5 points for the game. He averages 15.5 points in 11 games against the Warriors and is unlikely to score over 23.5 points on Wednesday.

Steph Curry has an over/under of 26.5 points for the game. After a couple of lackluster shooting performances from beyond the arc, Curry should come alive and torch the Grizzlies with over 26.5 points.
