Warriors Vs Grizzlies: Warriors favored on road as teams meet Wednesday night
The Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies meet on Wednesday night in a matchup that will test both teams' recent form. The warriors vs grizzlies pairing matters now because oddsmakers list the Warriors as road favorites and both teams arrive with uneven streaks and lineup questions.
Recent meetings: Warriors' dominance and a 114-113 scare
The Warriors have won five straight and eight of the last nine meetings with Memphis, a stretch that underlines Golden State's edge in the matchup. Still, the Grizzlies gave the Warriors a scare with a 114-113 final a few weeks ago, a close result that punctured what has otherwise been a one-sided series.
Warriors Vs Grizzlies: odds, injuries and the short turnaround
Oddsmakers have the Warriors as road favorites at the best betting sites on Wednesday night, even as Golden State arrives after a loss in New Orleans last night. Steph Curry and Kristaps Porzingis were among players to miss that New Orleans game, and Memphis is coming off a home loss to Sacramento on Monday night, creating quick turnarounds for both clubs.
Ty Jerome off report, season-long setbacks and current numbers
Ty Jerome is off the injury report after missing Monday's game with an illness. It has been a difficult season for Jerome: he missed the first few months of the season due to a calf strain, and this is his first year in Memphis. Through seven games this season he is averaging 19. 3 points and 5. 7 assists, and he has been getting more playing time in his new role.
How Jerome fared against Golden State earlier and the matchup note
The Warriors did hold Jerome to 13 points and just 1 assist earlier this month. The preview notes that, with Golden State potentially fatigued from travel and recent games, Jerome should be able to get up to his season averages against a tired Golden State squad.
Short-term form: Wins and losses that shape the betting picture
Despite the series edge, the Warriors have managed only two wins in their last six games, a run that tempers the impression created by their head-to-head record. Memphis has lost six of its last seven, a slump that helps explain why oddsmakers still favor Golden State on the road this Wednesday.
