Injury Report: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors
Always an exciting game when these two teams match up, the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors are once again set to face off on Saturday evening. The Grizzlies defeated the Warriors earlier this month, and the two teams will be facing off for the fourth and final time in the regular season on Saturday.
For the Warriors, they will be without Andre Iguodala, Gary Payton II, Ryan Rollins, and Andrew Wiggins. Jonathan Kuminga is also listed on the injury report, but he is probable and expected to play. For Memphis, they will be without Ja Morant, Brandon Clarke, Vince Williams Jr., and Steven Adams.
The season series between Memphis and Golden State currently sits with the Warriors, as they took the first two meetings from the Grizzlies before falling on March 9th. While a tiebreaker scenario does not project to be in play for these two teams, both sides need wins to optimize their positioning in a tight Western Conference playoff race.
For Memphis, they are looking to regain sole possession of the two-seed. As for Golden State, they are looking to escape the play-in tournament, having fallen back into the play-in picture with their recent skid. The Warriors are looking to snap their road skid, which continues to get worse with each game. With Steph Curry available, the Warriors should have a good chance against a Grizzlies team missing Ja Morant.
