The Golden State Warriors will try to take back home court in the series tonight when they play Game 3 against the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedEx Forum. The Grizzlies shocked many bettors with their 97-90 road victory in Game 2 as a 10-point underdog. The 90 points scored by the Warriors was their lowest since Christmas Day when they lost 100 -86 to the Los Angeles Clippers which was the only game of the season that they didn’t score at least 90 points.
On the score sheet the Grizzlies’ Mike Conley had a game high 22 points. Zach Randolph contributed 20 and Marc Gasol and Courtney Lee had 15 apiece in a game where every Memphis player scored points. For the Warriors Stephen Curry led the team with an underwhelming 19 points as his 3-point accuracy eluded him with 2 of 11 shooting from behind the arc. Four other players hit double digits for Golden State with Leandro Barbosa and Draymond Green putting up 14, Clay Thompson 13 and Harrison Barnes with 11.
The win by Memphis broke off a 3 game win streak in the matchup by Golden State and the season series sits at 3-2 advantage Warriors. The 187 points fell well under the posted O/U line of 197 giving us an UNDER trend for the match-up with 4 of the 5 games scoring going UNDER the total.

Is Stephen Curry going to shoot 2-11 from 3-point land tonight and the Warriors as a team have a game 3-PT shooting average of 23.1%? That’s doubtful, but they’re not likely to hit the 46.4% like they did in Game 1. The logical number would be somewhere in the middle and with that our projected scoring number would be in the 95 range. If our projection rings true that gives us a lot of wiggle room on the total for Game 3 currently being offered at 196.5.
