Warriors Vs Grizzlies: Best Photos, Injury News, Odds and Game Notes

Latest updates ahead of the matchup: the warriors vs grizzlies pairing arrives with heavy absences, recent streaks that favor Golden State, and betting markets listing the Warriors as road favorites. This preview gathers the game-day injuries, form lines, a key player update, and ancillary items fans should know before tipoff.

Warriors Vs Grizzlies: game context and recent meetings

The Golden State Warriors are looking to continue their dominance against the Memphis Grizzlies when they meet up on Wednesday night. The Warriors have won five straight and eight of the last nine meetings with Memphis, but the Grizzlies gave them a scare with a 114-113 final a few weeks ago. That victory is one of the Warriors’ two wins in their last six games, and Memphis has lost six of its last seven as well.

Injury report and availability

The Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies will be missing many prominent players on Wednesday night. The Golden State Warriors will be without De’Anthony Melton in Wednesday night’s matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Melton will be sitting out the second half of the Dubs back-to-back. Al Horford, who missed Tuesday’s game, will be returning to the rotation. Draymond Green is listed as questionable.

Golden State is already missing Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, Kristaps Porzingis, and Seth Curry as well. On the Memphis side, the team is holding out Ja Morant, Zach Edey, Santi Aldama, Cedric Coward, Brandon Clarke, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope — all will be out, with some carrying legitimate injuries. Former Warriors forward Kyle Anderson is listed as questionable. The matchup will therefore feature many absences on both rosters.

Recent form, travel and oddsmakers

This is a tough spot for Golden State after losing in New Orleans last night, with Steph Curry and Kristaps Porzingis among players to miss that one. Meanwhile, Memphis is coming off a home loss to Sacramento on Monday night. The oddsmakers have the Warriors as road favorites on Wednesday night.

Additional context: the Grizzlies organization has moved core pieces in the last year, trading players such as Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr., and commentary around the team includes criticism of an apparent tanking strategy.

Ty Jerome and matchup-specific notes

Ty Jerome is off the injury report after missing Monday’s game with an illness. Jerome missed the first few months of the season due to a calf strain. Through seven games this season Jerome is averaging 19. 3 points and 5. 7 assists. He is getting more playing time during his first year in Memphis and is making the most of it. The Warriors did hold Jerome to 13 points and just 1 assist earlier this month, but the guard should be able to get up to his season averages against a fatigued Golden State squad this time around.
