Stephen Curry is a big part of the long term picture for Golden State, but he will miss tonight's game after hitting his head on the floor last game. The Warriors are a deep enough team to absorb his loss in the moment. They proved that when Curry was out with an ankle injury in a 2-point road loss at San Antonio, but got the cover. Golden State is off to a 5-0 home start and are now 17-6 here in their last 23. Memphis is better than their 6-5 record, but simply have not hit their stride yet. They will also be a player short tonight as Tony Allen serves a one-game suspension, and they will miss his 9.5 points per game. Teams often step up in the game immediately following a key player injury, and Golden State is 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 overall. Lay the short number and play on Golden State.
