Golden State Warriors vs Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview

As the Golden State Warriors (14-11) gear up to face the Memphis Grizzlies (18-9) on Thursday night, the stage is set at FedExForum for an intriguing matchup. Scheduled for 8:00 PM ET, this clash brings together two teams with different recent experiences on the road and at home.

The Warriors, coming off a 143-133 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, have been struggling away from home, dropping their last four road games. Their cross-country travel for this encounter could prove to be a disadvantage, despite having had four days of rest since their last game. On the other hand, the Grizzlies, who also had a four-day break after a 116-110 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, have been dominant at home, winning their last seven games on their court.

Oddsmakers have pegged the Grizzlies as slight favorites, with a spread of -2.5 and a moneyline of -140, translating to a 56% implied win probability. Meanwhile, the Warriors hold a moneyline of +115, giving them a 44% chance of victory. These odds reflect both Golden State's travel challenges and Memphis's strong home performance.

For those interested in player prop bets, Desmond Bane's points and assists market has attracted significant attention. The total for this market opened at 18.5 points and assists but has since moved to 21.5, indicating confidence in Bane's ability to perform well.

With both teams rested, the Warriors and Grizzlies will look to leverage their advantages—whether it's Memphis's home-court momentum or Golden State's potential freshness after extra days off. Bettors and fans alike will be keen to see if the Warriors can snap their road woes or if the Grizzlies will continue their home success.
