LiontipsMemphis vs Golden State. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Grizzlies' squad is a perfect combination of young and experienced players. Taylor Jenkins did a great job, his club finished the regular season at the 2nd spot in the Western Conference.
Memphis managed to stop Minnesota in the first play-off round, Wolves were extremely motivated, but they eventually fell short. Grizzlies' offense managed to break through Wolves' defense. Ja Morant and co managed to beat the opponent in five matches, but now team will have to face a stronger opponent - Golden State Warriors are coming to Memphis.
Warriors fought for a top spot in the Western Conference standings. Injuries of key players seriously affected team's performance. Steve Kerr's men approached the knock-out phase in a great form and got Denver as the first opponent.
Golden State easily coasted past the Nuggets, losing only one match to the opponent. It is safe to say that Warriors didn't lose too much energy, so we should expect an interesting battle in the quarter-final, especially since both clubs prefer an offensive style of play.
