Warriors vs. Grizzlies Expert Betting Prediction

The Warriors don’t have Draymond Green at their disposal while Gary Paton and Otto Porter Jr. take some sting out of the team’s rotation if they sit the game out. On the other hand, the Grizzlies have their concerns without Dillon Brooks for at least three weeks while Steven Adams is questionable. The Warriors open the game as the slight favorites, but that’s only because the hosts have less firepower on their end. That said, we expect a close contest between the two with Thompson back in action while the Grizzlies get home advantage and the better record in the last ten games.
