Oddsmakers currently have the Warriors listed as 9½-point favorites versus the Grizzlies, while the game’s total is sitting at 197.
Stephen Curry was 8-of-12 from beyond the arc in that win over the Grizzlies and continues to set records with his 3-point shooting. Curry smashed his own record for 3-pointers in a season with an 8-of-13 performance on Thursday and followed it up with five more 3-pointers in a win over the Timberwolves on Saturday as Golden State plays out the string in the regular season. “I just think they’re ready for the playoffs,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters of his players. “They want it, and I’m very confident that when that happens, our edge will be back. We’ll have our appropriate fear and we’ll be sharp.”
The Warriors were a 110-101 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Timberwolves. They failed to cover the -20-point spread as favorites, while the total score (211) made winners of UNDER bettors.
