Two of the NBA’s hottest teams meet when the Grizzlies and Warriors face off in San Francisco for Game 2 of an ESPN doubleheader.
The Memphis Grizzlies lost in the last outing against the Lakers (128-123) after three consecutive victories, bringing their record to 7-5 on the season. Memphis is still without stars Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, but Jaren Jackson is leading the charge with 20-plus points in four straight games and youngsters like Scotty Pippen Jr., Zach Edey and Santi Aldama are stepping up.
The Golden State Warriors are 9-2 this season and are coming off an emotional victory over Klay Thompson and the Mavericks. Golden State has won seven of the last eight games and is one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Stephen Curry is also in good form, scoring 36 and 37 points in the last two games and leading the team in scoring in four of the last five.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Draymond Green to go under his 20.5 points + rebounds + assists against the Grizzlies:
“The Warriors are coming off a thrilling home win over Klay Thompson and the Mavericks, so key players like Stephen Curry and Draymond Green might not be as motivated when they host the Memphis Grizzlies, who are missing Ja Morant and d other key contributors.
The Grizzlies defense has been solid in recent games, ranking in the top seven in several categories over the last three games. They are holding their opponents to just 41.4% shooting from the field, 28% from three-point range and just 107.0 points per game.
Draymond Green is coming off a solid performance, posting 11 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in 32 minutes, a season high. Before that, he had 8 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists against Oklahoma City, marking two consecutive games in which he exceeded his PRA line.
However, I’m trying to remove the green there. With a career-low usage rate of just 13.5%, his involvement is minimal compared to other role players like Taj Gibson, Nic Claxton, and Brandon Clarke. Given these trends and the situation, I take PRA Under 20.5 at odds of -130.
