The Golden State Warriors wrap up their brief road trip on Wednesday night with a matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Tip-off is set for 4:30 PM PT in Memphis and will be broadcast on NBC Sports Bay Area.
Previously with the Warriors:
Golden State had a chance to make it two wins in a row but ultimately came up short in their 113–109 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Playing without Stephen Curry once again, the Warriors had to find ways to generate offense, and De’Anthony Melton answered the call with a team-high 28 points.
However, in a tight game where every possession mattered, turnovers proved costly for Golden State. The Warriors committed 20 turnovers, which the Pelicans converted into 18 points. After the game, head coach Steve Kerr emphasized the importance of taking care of the ball as the team continues to navigate injuries and a shortened rotation.
What to watch for tonight:
The Warriors will remain shorthanded for at least one more game, as Melton has been ruled out on the second night of a back-to-back. Al Horford, however, is expected to return after sitting out Tuesday’s game for load management.
Horford will look to build on his recent strong performance against the Denver Nuggets when he knocked down five threes and finished with 22 points. His floor spacing could be especially important against a Memphis team that is dealing with injuries to multiple frontcourt players, including starting center Zach Edey.
The Grizzlies, meanwhile, have lost six of their last seven games and are 0–2 against Golden State this season, giving the Warriors a solid opportunity to bounce back and close the trip on a positive note.
