NBA Playoffs
Western Conference - Semifinals
Tip-off: Monday, 9:35 p.m. ET
Line: Golden State -4.5, Total: 196.0

The Grizzlies took a 2-1 series lead with a 99-89 victory over the Warriors in Memphis in Game 3 on Saturday. Once again the Grizzlies did not allow the Warriors to get many good looks from the outside and they held Golden State to just 6-of-26 shooting from three. They also did not let the Warriors get comfortable at any point in the game, forcing them to commit 17 turnovers. All three of the games in this series have gone Under the total. The Grizzlies are 8-2 straight up in their past 10 games at home against the Warriors and they are 4-2 against the spread in their six most recent meetings. PG Stephen Curry is going to be the player to watch in this game, as he is really struggling in this series. Curry is averaging 21.3 PPG in the three contests, but is shooting just 39.7% from the field and 27.6% from the outside. He must be more efficient moving forward or his team will likely be watching the next round on TV. The Warriors are 21-11 against the spread as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season, but they are up against a Grizzlies team that is 12-2 against the spread off a win by 10 points or more as an underdog over the past three seasons. PF Marreese Speights (Calf) is out for Golden State in this game, but both teams are relatively healthy outside of that.
