Golden State did most of its damage at home this season and is just 23-20 straight up on the road. They only played two games in Denver during the first round, and they split two close games, including a 126-121 loss as a favorite. They're favored again here, but the Dubs face a talented and versatile Memphis squad that was the No. 2 seed in the West, which has home-court advantage for the series. During the regular season, the Memphis defense was 12th in points surrendered, Top 10 in field goal shooting allowed, 11th at defending beyond the arc, and the offense was second in scoring. The Grizzlies also led the NBA in rebounding and are 32-12 straight-up at home. Memphis won the season series against the Warriors, 3-1, and Golden State suffered its worst loss of the year at Memphis, 123-95, four weeks ago. Memphis has also won six of the last nine meetings, including three straight at home. Play Memphis on the moneyline.
