The most recent game, held in mid-November, was intense and thrilling. Golden State secured a home win by just 5 points (123-118).

Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies suffered a road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on December 16, with a score of 110-116, ending their four-game winning streak. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the losing team with 25 points, five rebounds, and two assists. Zach Edey recorded a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist). Ja Morant added 20 points, while Luke Kennard scored 12. Taylor Jenkins’ team, with 18 wins and 9 losses, currently holds second place in the Western Conference standings.

Golden State Warriors

Prediction

The Grizzlies have exceeded fans' expectations early this season. The team from Tennessee is delivering excellent results and has rightfully established itself as one of the league's leaders. With this form, they appear poised to secure a playoff spot. On the other hand, Golden State has struggled, repeating many of last season's shortcomings. Memphis has been particularly strong at home, winning 80% of their games at the FedExForum. This is an excellent opportunity for them to improve their standings against a less formidable opponent. Backed by their passionate fans, Jenkins' squad should aim for victory.
