1.88Tip and bets
Memphis has exceeded fans' expectations at the start of the current season. The team from Tennessee is showing excellent results and is rightfully among the leaders of the championship. With such a game, they will finally be able to get into the playoffs. Golden State is not particularly shining and is repeating all the failures of last season. The Grizzlies are playing great on their home court (their win rate is 80 percent). This is a great moment to improve their standing in the tournament against a not very formidable opponent. Jenkins' team will have to achieve victory with the noisy support of their fans.
Our prediction is a Memphis victory with a handicap of (-2.5) points including overtime at 1.76
Bet on individual total
Memphis will put its best lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, the team from the Volunteer State shows high high efficiency this season. The average score is 122.2. And in home games it is a little lower - 121.6. And this time the Grizzlies will be able to decently load the opponent basket.
Our prediction is Memphis' individual total over 121.5 points including overtime at 2.05
Bet on the first half
The Memphis basketball players will start the game with Golden State in a not very good mood after the disappointing defeat in Los Angeles. There is no doubt that the Grizzlies will try to achieve victory in order to rehabilitate themselves before their fans. The players of Jenkins' team will show who is the boss on the court from the first minutes of the match and seize the initiative.
Our prediction is a Memphis win in the first half of the game at 1.73
