Warriors take on rival Memphis without Curry, Wiggins
Since two-time MVP Stephen Curry collapsed on December 14 with a left shoulder injury, Warriors It went 1-3, including a 143-113 loss to Brooklyn the previous time. Needless to say, Golden State couldn’t cover the 30-point shock despite being his double-digit underdog (+10.5). Curry, who was sidelined on Sunday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, said he’s leading the Warriors with 30 points per game (6th in the NBA) and 6.8 assists (16th). I am sorry. With Golden State still one game behind the play-in spot and him sitting 11th in the West, Klay, his Thompson and team will have to step up big.

β Golden State Warriors (@warriors) December 25, 2022
Golden State is shorthanded as well as Curry. Andrew Wiggins (abdomen), Andre Iguodala (waist) and Jamaican Green (in quarantine) are all out. Draymond Green (legs), on the other hand, is questionable. For the season, the Warriors averaged 5th most points per game (38), his 10th-best on-field goal percentage (47.8) and his 5th-best 3-point percentage (38) in the NBA. 116.5) have been recorded.

evaluation:
Take points with the Grizzlies. Golden State is just 1-3 in his ATS in his last four games without Curry, and his average loss margin across those three losses is his 26.7 points. Needless to say, his final 10-game margin of this series is +2.6 and the Grizzlies are in favor of Memphis as he is 7-3 ATS in that span. Memphis are also 7-2-1 ATS (-6.5 or better covering 3 spreads) in their last 10 games, and 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games against Pacific Division opponents. Meanwhile, the Warriors are 2-4 ATS in his final six games on Sunday. If you want a gift, side with Morant’s team and give the Warriors another of his ATS losses on Christmas.
Prediction: Grizzlies -6.5

evaluation:
give me an over As long as the Warriors’ scoring defense β he’s 27th in the league (117.9 ppg allowed) β can be thrown here, I don’t trust it, especially when Memphis is a top-seven scoring offense. Since Curry fell, Golden State has given up his 125.8 points per game, averaging 109.8 points over the same span. Conversely, the Grizzlies have scored 125 or more points in three of their last five games. They are also 6-0 in the Warriors’ Best 6 overall and 5-1 in the Best 6 against Western Conference competition. We know Memphis has two top 25 scorers, so there’s no way to touch Under here after the Warriors witnessed what happened against Brooklyn.
Predictions: 229 or more
