NBA Playoffs
Eastern Conference - Semifinals
Tip-off: Friday, 9:35 p.m. ET
Line: Golden State -5.0, Total: 194.0

The Warriors look to eliminate the Grizzlies when they face them in Game 6 in Memphis Friday. The Grizzlies had a 2-1 lead in this series heading into Game 4, but the Warriors have now won two straight games after winning 98-78 as 10-point favorites in Golden State on Wednesday. Memphis has not scored 100 points or more in a single game this series and will likely need to reach that mark if the team is going to win on Friday. The Grizzlies will need a big game from PG Mike Conley in this one. PG Stephen Curry is playing at a high level for the Warriors and Memphis needs Conley to hold his own against him. The Grizzlies bench also needs to be better, as it combined to score just 17 points in Game 5. The Warriors are 23-8 against the spread after a blowout win by 15 points or more this season. The Grizzlies, however, are 16-7 against the spread after playing a game as a road underdog this season and they are also up against a Golden State group that is 2-11 against the spread in road games after having won two of its past three games on the year. PF Marreese Speights (Calf) is out for the Warriors and SG Tony Allen (Hamstring) is likely to give it a go for the Grizzlies.
