Golden State at Memphis

Golden State is vulnerable to having bad offensive games without Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Kristaps Porzingis. That certainly was the case last night in New Orleans. The Warriors lost to the Pelicans, 113-109. Golden State was just 11-of-45 (24.4%) from 3-point range and committed 21 turnovers. The Warriors will have to continue relying on unheralded players such as Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski, and Gui Santos, as Curry and Porzingis remain out while Butler is sidelined for the season. Memphis remains without its top offensive player, Ja Morant. He’s out with an elbow injury. The two teams met on Feb. 9, and Golden State won, 114-113, at home. The Warriors shot 53% from the floor, and Memphis made 51% of its field goals. Highly doubtful those teams shoot as well as they did in that game. The Grizzlies rank 17th in defensive field goal percentage. The Warriors are 11th defensively and eighth in 3-point defense. Take the UNDER.
