Warriors vs. Grizzlies Prediction and Odds for Game 2 (Bet Warriors to Take 2-0 Lead)

Game 1 between the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies was an absolute gem, as it came down to the final possessions with the Warriors pulling out a one-point win. 

While Memphis was able to compete with the veteran Warriors, the Grizzlies squandered multiple chances late to come away with a home win and no longer have home court advantage in this series. 

Draymond Green was ejected in Game 1 in the first half, but he will be back in the lineup as Golden State tries to take a commanding 2-0 lead before heading back to the Bay Area.

Let’s check out the odds for Tuesday’s matchup via WynnBET and make a pick for Game 2.

Warriors vs. Grizzlies Prediction and Pick

Yes, Memphis covered in Game 1 and could have pulled out the victory, but was the Grizzlies performance sustainable? 

Jaren Jackson Jr. had one of his best games of the season, scoring 33 points and Ja Morant shot 14-for-31 on his way to a 34-point game. 

And the Grizzlies lost? 

Sure, Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks weren’t great, but neither were Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, as they combined to shoot just 14-for-39 from the field. Jordan Poole picked up the slack, but we’ve seen all three rolling at times for Golden State in these playoffs. 

The bigger issue is Green, arguably the best defender in the NBA, who will be back in the lineup and help Golden State avoid some of the breakdowns it had in the second half. 

This game set up perfectly for Memphis to come away with the win, but the Warriors made timely stops, such as this one by Steph, to save the day. 

I’m going right back to my pick for Game 1 and taking Golden State to grab another victory.
