Bet on the NBA Play-In Today: Grizzlies vs Warriors Odds, Lines & Betting Prediction

Grizzlies vs Warriors Odds: A season-ending mini-slump left the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Playoff Tournament, where they will face the Memphis Grizzlies for the seventh seed and the right to play Houston. The Warriors are solid favorites on the NBA betting odds to be that team to advance.

Top-seeded Oklahoma City is the -140 favorite to win the Western Conference with Golden State at +750 and Memphis +8000 – the Grizzlies shocked many by firing Coach Taylor Jenkins late in the regular season. His assistant, Finland’s Tuomas Iisalo, has been serving as interim coach.

The loser of Tuesday’s game will on Friday host the winner of the 9 vs. 10 game featuring Sacramento hosting Dallas, which probably will be the Kings. Then that winner would be the West’s No. 8 seed and face the Thunder in Round 1.

Golden State was 3-1 vs. Memphis this regular season. They last played on April 1 in Tennessee and the Warriors won 134-125.

Grizzlies Adjusting To New Style

Memphis closed the regular season with a 132-97 home win over Dallas on Sunday to snap a two-game skid, but none of the Grizzlies’ key guys played for the team locked into the West’s No. 8 seed. Memphis outscored Dallas 65-43 after halftime to break the game open.

The Grizzlies were rather inconsistent in the second half of the season, which led to the firing on March 28 of Taylor Jenkins, the winningest coach in franchise history, and the promotion of new staffer Tuomas Iisalo to interim head coach.

The move was made to optimize Ja Morant, who thrives with the ball in his hands. Memphis lost its first three games under the new regime. But the team appears lately to be adjusting to Iisalo and his vision of the offense.

Memphis enters the playoffs without good-looking rookie Jaylen Wells after sustaining a fractured right wrist last Tuesday in Charlotte. Wells was one of the season’s top rookies after being selected 39th overall in last year’s draft.

Grizzlies big man Jaren Jackson Jr. has scored 1,641 points this season, a career best scoring total for a single season.

Is Kuminga Out Of Warriors’ Rotation?

In an interesting move, Coach Steve Kerr didn’t play promising young forward Jonathan Kuminga (15.3 PPG) at all. It was essentially a playoff game, and the Warriors treated it as such, going with Gary Payton II, Buddy Hield, Kevon Looney, and Quinten Post off the bench.

Before the Butler trade that saved the Warriors’ season, Kuminga was playing the best basketball of his career.

“When you get to these tight games, you tighten up your rotation, and you play your guys, and you go for it,” Kerr said postgame. “We just found a group since Jimmy got here that we’re pretty comfortable with.”

Grizzlies vs Warriors Odds: Conclusion

This is the third time in Warriors franchise history, the Warriors are in the Play-In Tournament, having made appearances in 2021 and 2024. They are 0-3 in those three, having lost to the Lakers and Grizzlies in 2021 and the Kings in 2024.

The Warriors finished 23-8 since Jimmy Butler made his team debut on February 8 at Chicago, and were 23-7 in games he has played in (Butler III missed the March 1 game at Philadelphia).

Golden State has the best defensive rating (109.0) in the NBA since Butler III made his debut.
