Grizzlies vs. Warriors: Start time, where to watch, what's the
500 and the Grizzlies are 20-11 and the 2-seed out west. Memphis has the upper-hand coming into, but the Warriors have the rings. This is the first time these two have rekindled this newly born rivalry and the way the Warriors are playing, they might need a Christmas miracle to pull off the upset with Steph Curry. Let’s take a look at the odds as the Warriors are home underdogs. Warriors odds, spread and totalGrizzlies vs.
Jenkins elected to keep his starting lineup from the last three games that included Xavier Tillman as the starting center. Steven Adams was out for being in health and safety protocols, and Ziaire Williams was listed as questionable but missed the game with right knee soreness. The biggest lineup change came from the Warriors, who started Gary Payton II over Jordan Poole. Payton is one of the Warriors' best defenders. He started out on Morant, but that didn't prevent the Grizzlies point guard from scoring 14 points in the first quarter. Golden State also started the second half with a new lineup after Draymond Green was ejected near the end of the first half because of a flagrant-2 foul on Brandon Clarke.
The crowd chanted "Throw him out" as the referees reviewed the play. The play was deemed a flagrant-2, and the Memphis crowd booed Green as he ran off the court raising his arms and taunting the crowd. Playoff basketball energy in FedExForum The energy of playoff basketball is different, and this game had several examples of that. Jaren Jackson Jr. picked up three fouls in the first half, and two were questionable calls. After Jackson's third foul, he yelled at NBA official James Williams about the call. Williams responded, “I’m trying to talk to you. Calm down! ” This was about the third or fourth call where Jenkins had walked in the referee's direction demanding answers.
This latest Curry injury has given Steve Kerr time to evaluate the young guns, but this system has proven to be so difficult for young players to succeed in. It’s predicated on decision making and IQ on the floor, things that Wiseman and Kuminga haven’t shown much of. Against Brooklyn this week, Kerr started Kuminga and Moody and Wiseman played 28 minutes off the bench, they lost 143-113 and were never in it for a second.

Grizzlies vs. Warriors prediction and odds for Christmas Day
Warriors prediction and pickThe Warriors had such a gift when the KD era ended in Golden State, they suffered injuries and had two terrible seasons that, along with a savvy D’Angelo Russell for Andrew Wiggins swap, netted them three lottery picks. They should’ve replenished the cupboard and had the next era of Golden State basketball playing alongside Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. The only problem is they might have struck out. James Wiseman has spent most of his career either injured or in the G-League, Jonathan Kuminga has shown flashes, but doesn’t seem to have improved this season, and Moses Moody ended up behind Anthony Lamb in the rotation.
The Grizzlies had a two-point lead when Dillon Brooks and Klay Thompson dived on the floor for a loose ball with 42. 9 seconds remaining. The ball was tipped out of bounds, and the Warriors received possession. Thompson made the Grizzlies pay when he got the ball, took one dribble to his left and made a 3-pointer. The Grizzlies got one more chance down one when Ja Morant drove to the basket and missed a left-handed layup as the buzzer sounded.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors Prediction
The defense just suffers far too much with this version of the Warriors and I don’t see them having much of a chance against Memphis. The Grizzlies are one of the very best teams in the NBA and will want to make a statement against Golden State on Christmas Day. Their last time out they cruised to a 125-100 win over Phoenix with Devin Booker and this is the same situation.
