NBA Playoffs
Western Conference - Semifinals
Tip-off: Tuesday, 10:35 p.m. ET
Line: Golden State -10.5, Total: 196.5

The Warriors will be looking to take a 2-0 series lead when they host the Grizzlies on Tuesday. Golden State was a 10.5-point favorite in Game 1 and came away with a 101-86 victory. The team shot 50.6% from the field and a remarkable 46.4% from behind the arc in that game. The Warriors have dominated this head-to-head series recently, winning five of the past six meetings between these teams straight up and covering in four of those victories. SF Jeff Green is going to need to be on his game for the Grizzlies on Tuesday. With PG Mike Conley (Facial) likely missing this game, Memphis will need offense from Green. He had just nine points and four rebounds in 27 minutes of action on Sunday and he will need to be a lot more aggressive on Tuesday. PF Draymond Green is going to need to knock down some outside shots like he did in Game 1. He had 16 points on 5-for-11 shooting from the floor and 4-for-8 shooting from behind the arc. He was spacing the floor and giving the Warriors a lot more room to work with when attacking the basket. One trend to keep an eye on is that the Warriors are 22-7 against the spread after a blowout win by 15 points or more this season. Conley is the only player in danger of missing this game for either team.
