After demolishing the Golden State Warriors by 39 points in Game 5, the Memphis Grizzlies are now hoping to force a Game 7 as the teams meet up at Chase Center again. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:00 pm ET on ESPN, and I’ve prepared a same game parlay which is available below.
After checking it out, be sure to go through our predictions on the side and total for Game 6 of the Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks series.
Let’s dive in!
Golden State Warriors 1-10 win margin (+170)
Stephen Curry 4+ made threes (-156)
Steven Adams to record 12+ rebounds (+110)
Parlay odds: +778
Golden State Warriors 1-10 win margin (+170)
Memphis is coming off a blowout win in Game 5 and will need another complete effort to avoid elimination. The Grizzlies had 7 players scoring in double-figures in the rout. They also shot 44% from 3-point range, and that may not be sustainable. The Warriors played their worst game of the series and are veteran enough to bounce back as they return home. They didn’t play a single starter for more than 25 minutes in Game 5, so they will be rested for Game 6. While each team has a blowout win in the series, the other 3 games were decided by 2 possessions or less. I’m expecting tonight’s game to be another close one, but ultimately the Warriors’ experience should make the difference.

Stephen Curry 4+ made threes (-156)
Even though Stephen Curry is averaging 25.4 points per game in this series, we are yet to have a signature performance by the 2-time MVP. He has shot 50% from the field only once so far in the series, so what better way to make a statement than with a big performance in a close-out game? Steph is averaging 3.4 made threes per game against Memphis, and he has scored 4 of them twice in the 5 games and 4 times total in this postseason. After playing just 25 minutes in the blowout loss in Game 5, he should be well rested. During the regular season he averaged 36.3 points per game against the Grizzlies, so don’t be surprised if he puts up huge numbers in tonight’s game.
Steven Adams to record 12+ rebounds (+110)
After Steven Adams missed the first 2 games of this series and played just 6 minutes in Game 3, the Memphis Grizzlies have finally realized that playing him gives them a much better chance of winning games. Adams played 27 and 22 minutes over the past 2 games and has recorded 15 and 13 rebounds while also scoring 10 points in Game 4. They will need him to come up big on the boards once again tonight. Shutting off the middle would also be beneficial, as it would push the Warriors further back from the basket and make them take tougher and longer shots, which isn’t ideal for a team trying to close out an opponent. Adams averaged exactly 10 rebounds per game during the regular season in just 26 minutes of play, if he gets at least 30 minutes tonight that should be enough for this bet to land.
