THE PICK:

Warriors lead the series 1-0

Watch on TNT

Despite trailing at the half and seeing Draymond Green get ejected, the Warriors clawed their way back to a 117-116 win. Despite Stephen Curry playing 37 minutes, it was Jordan Poole who was the star of the game, scoring 31 points on 12-20 shooting and 5-10 from beyond the arc. with eight rebounds and nine assists. It helped cover up Curry shooting just 8-20 from the field and Klay Thompson finishing at a poor 6-19 from the field.

Memphis did a good job preventing huge games from those two studs, but they had no answer for Poole and were essentially a two-person offense with Ja Morant scoring 34 points with 10 assists and nine rebounds and Jaren Jackson Jr. dominating the Warriors inside to the tune of 33 points and 10 rebounds.

On the season, Memphis is the best team in the NBA against the spread, going 56-32-1, while the Warriors are 44-40-4 ATS (13th). Memphis is also the best in the NBA at home, going 29-16 ATS, while Golden State has been worse on the road, going 19-23-2 ATS (24th). Golden State is also just 11-14-2 ATS as a road favorite (25th), while Memphis is 8-3 ATS as a home underdog (4th).

Memphis is better at hitting the over, coming in at 45-40-4 in the O/U, good for 9th, while the Warriors rely on their defense and are 40-46-2 (25th). Those trends have actually reversed in the playoffs as Golden State is 5-1 in the O/U but Memphis is 3-4.

Memphis is also 4th-best in the NBA straight up as a home underdog, going 7-4, while Golden State is 17-10 as a road favorite (19th).

Something to keep in mind is that Desmond Bane is listed as questionable for tonight’s game and would be a big loss.
