Stephen Curry and Dario Šarić each led the team in assists in that game with 7 while Stephen Curry led the team in rebounds with 8.

The Warriors have an ATS record of 21-22-1 this season and their O/U record is 27-17.

The Grizzlies are entering this game with an 18-29 record overall and they are 5-16 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game on a 2 game losing streak with losses coming against the Indiana Pacers and the Sacramento Kings in their last game, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers still to be played on Thursday night.

The Grizzlies have an ATS record of 22-25 this season and their O/U record is 19-28.

The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors haven't looked good in their games this season with their 20-24 record overall which has them near the bottom of the West and fighting to get into a play-in spot for the playoffs. They haven't looked good in their road games this season either with their 7-11 road record, but they did beat the 76ers in their last game and have some momentum from that now. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have also looked terrible in their games this season with their 18-29 record overall which has them near the bottom of the West right now and well out of a playoff spot. They haven't even looked good on their home court with their 5-16 home record this season and they have no momentum on their side with 2 losses in a row. The Grizzlies have been a terrible team all year and one of the worst in the NBA right from the start of the season. They had a brief run that was decent when Ja Morant came back from his suspension, but he also got injured shortly after and they have really been nothing without him this year. They also have a laundry list of other injuries to their starters and really have a skeleton team playing in these games lately. The Warriors haven't looked good this season either but they have still been a lot better than the Grizzlies and have some new found momentum now as they try to pull themselves away from the bottom of the West. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

“Draymond really changed things with his return because he connects those guys at both ends of the floor, just with his communication defensively and the way he helps get us organized offensively. Great to see Wiggs and JK both playing so well and playing well together. It’s fun, you can see the team we’re shifting a little bit with how we’re playing and who we’re playing.” - Steve Kerr after his team’s win against the 76ers in their game on Tuesday.
