Game Totals Pick
Under 229.5(-110)MEM Grizzlies @ GS Warriors

After a long and eventful regular season, the NBA Playoffs have finally arrived, and action will get underway in the Western Conference with this Play-In rematch between the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors. The Grizzlies upset the Warriors back in the 2021 Play-In tournament, but I’m not expecting a repeat performance this time around, especially given the experience edge and matchup advantages Golden State has in this contest. However, while I do lean toward the Warriors playing in a playoff atmosphere at home, I’m more interested in the total in this one.

While this game isn’t necessarily a win or go home situation, it might as well be for both teams considering the best case scenario following a loss would be a date with the top-seeded Thunder in the first round. With that in mind, I’m going to be targeting the under in a situation where the market is factoring recent performance a bit too much for my liking. For starters, Golden State plays at a slower tempo at home with Jimmy Butler in the lineup, and we should only see fewer transition points in a game of this magnitude. Yes, the Grizzlies defense has been extremely inconsistent this season, but you also have to factor in the fact that Memphis’ offense is going to be playing at a slower pace on Tuesday, which should limit the possession count for Golden State. The Grizzlies should be focused on grinding out longer possessions and executing against a Warriors defense that is excellent at home (46% field goal percentage allowed). It certainly helps matters that Memphis has been mediocre from beyond the 3-point arc this season, shooting just over 36% as a team. Ultimately, the Warriors defense has been rock solid and should be comfortable in this high-pressure setting, and I can’t quite trust Golden State to score around 120+ points in a game where there should be fewer possessions. There’s a reason games at the Chase Center are 6-2 to the under over the last 8 home games for Golden State, and I’m expecting that trend to continue on Tuesday.

Same Game Parlay

Player Threes Made
S. Curry (GS) - Under 5.5 threes
Player Points+Rebounds
Z. Edey (MEM) - Over 19.5 P+R
Player Threes Made
D. Green (GS) - Over 1.5 threes

Stephen Curry (GS) under 5.5 made threes (-130)

Steph Curry exploded for 12 three-pointers in the last meeting between the Grizzlies and Warriors, but he could have issues replicating that here. Since that game, he has managed 6 or more threes in just 2 of the 7 games — and in the previous 2 games against them this season before his explosion, he had shot just 3 of 14 from deep combined.

The Grizzlies have tough and physical defenders like Desmond Bane who they can throw at Curry here while Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Edey are not the easiest guys for anyone to shoot over either. In a game of this magnitude, I expect the Grizzlies to be forcing the ball out of Curry’s hands throughout. Curry should have more success getting into the paint tonight and pulling the strings from there.

Zach Edey (MEM) over 19.5 points & rebounds (-115)

Ever since the coaching change in Memphis, the Grizzlies have relied more heavily on Edey, with the center managing at least 30 minutes of playing time in 4 of his last 6 games. During that stretch, he has pulled down 15.7 rebounds per game. He will have to make himself a presence in the paint tonight, especially on the offensive end, if he will look to stay on the floor.

The Warriors are in the bottom half of the league in opponent offensive rebounds per game over the last 10, so the Canadian should get plenty of opportunities to be a force on that end of the floor. Being matched up against a much smaller opponent in Draymond Green should allow him to effectively convert these chances to points and put together a strong line in these categories. Let’s go with a productive night from Edey for the next leg of our Grizzlies vs Warriors Same Game Parlay.

Draymond Green (GS) over 1.5 made threes (+135)

One player who the Grizzlies will be happy to see shooting the ball from deep will be Green, and the Warriors star should have the ability to make them pay for it. He is coming into this game after a 4 three-pointer performance against the Clippers and is shooting a respectable 35.5% from beyond the arc this month. He has been able to hit the over on this line in 2 of the 4 games against the visitors this season. What is encouraging is that during those games he attempted 6 threes on one occasion and 7 on another two. If he gets to that level of shot output here, his recent efficiency indicates this is a great value addition to our SGP.

Player Rebounds+Assists Pick
S. Curry (GS) - Under 10.5 R+A(+105)

Do not let the playoffs scare you off of backing unders. These numbers are baked into these players getting more time on the court, but at a much slower pace, as the games tend to slow down in the postseason. We’re targeting Steph Curry and the under of his rebounds+assists prop of 10.5 at plus-money odds on bet365.

The Warriors failed to win on Sunday against the Clippers in overtime, resulting in them having to participate in the Play-in Tournament. With Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green 0rchistrating a ton of usage and offense, this is a great spot to take a shot at fading Curry — but not in the scoring department. Green and Butler’s assist props are 5.5 and 6.5, respectively. Meanwhile, Brandin Podziemski is commanding much usage as well. With plenty of other players filling the stat sheet, we could see Curry spend the majority of his time focusing on scoring.
