Odds Checker: Go with the Warriors in Game 6 vs. Grizzlies

Jason Radowitz writes: "It's been an exciting run for Memphis. A lot of the NBA world was counting them out coming into this game, like myself. However, the Grizzlies got heavy contributions from Jaren Jackson Jr., Tyus Jones, and Desmond Bane, who all had 21 points each. Memphis has been a fun story all year. But with Golden State headed back, the Warriors will play with more heart and energy. They'll win more chances on the glass and limit turnovers, unlike Wednesday night. Give me the Warriors at home."
