On Friday night, the Golden State Warriors will play the Memphis Grizzlies in an NBA Cup West Group C game that will be broadcast nationwide. This will be Memphis’ first NBA Cup game and Golden State’s second.
Memphis is more shorthanded going into Friday night, and both teams are coping with significant ailments. Despite missing GG Jackson (foot) and standout Ja Morant (hip), the Grizzlies have managed to post a 7-5 record. Due to an oblique issue, Desmond Bane has also missed the last seven games, and it is unclear if he will be available for Friday’s game.
Due to an ACL injury, former Memphis guard De Anthony Melton is no longer with the Warriors. According to Field Level Media, he will go through additional tests to determine how much time he will miss. Golden State has a 9-2 record going into Friday night.

Best same game parlay for Grizzlies vs. Warriors
-
Leg 1:
Warriors -7.5
-
Leg 2:
Over 235.5 points
-
Leg 3:
Stephen Curry over 26.5 Points
BetMGM Sportsbook’s parlay odds are +360 ($10 stake wins $36.00).
SGP Leg 1: Warriors -7.5
The odds at BetMGM Sportsbook are -110.
Despite losing to the Lakers by five points, the Grizzlies have managed to stay competitive without Morant and Bane. Prior to Wednesday’s loss at Los Angeles, they had won three straight games.
Without Morant, who has been out for the past three games, those victories came against Portland and Washington. The Grizzlies will have a harder time remaining close to Golden State without their star player, despite their resilience in the Lakers’ defeat.
Klay Thompson’s homecoming to Golden State ended with the Warriors defeating Dallas by three points. They are 7-1 ATS in conference games and 5-1 ATS as favorites. Curry and company just defeated Boston as a visitor and defeated Oklahoma City by 11 points on the road on Sunday. The Grizzlies might have a greater chance of keeping the game close if this matchup was Morant vs. Curry, but the predicted spread looks accurate in this instance.
SGP Leg 2: Over 235.5 points
The odds at BetMGM Sportsbook are -115.
Memphis has finished with 123 points or more in their last four games, demonstrating their ability to score points even without Morant and Bane. The Grizzlies will score enough points to advance the match past the over even if they don’t cover in this one.
In each of their previous six games, the Warriors scored 117 points or more. The final score was in the same range as the OKC game, which ended with a score of 127-116. Even if the third leg of the parlay appears to be quite attractive, this leg might be the most certain wager.
According to TeamRankings, Memphis is ranked seventh in offensive efficiency and Golden State is ranked fourth. This season, the Grizzlies are 3-1 to the over as an underdog, while the Warriors are 8-3 to the over.
SGP Leg 3: Stephen Curry over 26.5 points
The odds at BetMGM Sportsbook are -110.
In five November games, Curry is scoring 27.2 points on average. In three of his last four games, he scored 27 points or more. Memphis ranked 26th in the NBA in terms of three-point shooting percentage, allowing 14.4 per game. In his last two games, Curry has made 12 three-pointers.
The four-time All NBA First-Team player scored Golden State’s final 12 points and finished with 37 points in the victory over Dallas. Curry finished a game with that many points in a row for just the second time in his career.
Curry scored 37 points against Dallas and 36 points against Oklahoma City in the previous two games. In those two games, he shot 48% from three-point range (12-for-25) and 54% from the field (27-for-50).
