The Golden State Warriors are undefeated with Klay Thompson in the lineup this season (one game), and they’ll get a chance to build on that on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies

However, the Grizzlies are the hottest team in the NBA, winning nine straight games and watching Ja Morant do the impossible on a nightly basis. 

Memphis is down one of its best players in Dillon Brook, but the Warriors will be missing Draymond Green in this matchup as well. 

Here are the latest odds via WynnBET:

Warriors vs. Grizzlies Prediction and Pick

If there’s a time that you can fade the Warriors from a betting standpoint, it’s when they are a road favorite. 

Golden State is just 5-5-1 against the spread as a road favorite this season, but it is 23-14-2 against the spread overall (fourth best record in the NBA). The Grizzlies have the second best record in the NBA ATS, going 27-15, and they have covered in six straight games and in eight of their nine wins on this streak. 

These two teams are both juggernauts in terms of covering the spread, so I’m actually not going to pick a side and look at the total in this game. 

Golden State is the best UNDER team in the NBA (25-12-2), while the Grizzlies are 20-20-2 on unders this season. 

Both of these teams are top-11 in defensive rating, with Golden State holding the No. 1 spot this season. 

Memphis has played some really high-scoring games as of late, but I think that regresses against the Warriors’ top defense that has allowed less than 100 points in three straight games. 

Lean: Warriors-Grizzlies UNDER 221.5 (-110)
