Grizzlies vs. Warriors: Public Bettors Willing to Lay Points
Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 58% of public bettors are currently backing the Warriors when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Bane Finishes with 24 Points vs. Kings
Desmond Bane finished Monday’s 121-111 loss to the Kings with 24 points (7-of-19 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes. After playing 32 minutes in his first game back from a sprained ankle on Saturday, Bane logged 37 in Monday’s overtime loss. He’s had better nights shooting the basketball, but the rebound, assist, and steals production was encouraging.
Given his talent level and the key contributors who aren’t available, Bane is well-positioned to provide high value in fantasy basketball. However, the possibility of him being shut down lingers. Hopefully, Bane can remain healthy and avoid that fate. The Grizzlies play two more road games in Week 21, beginning with the Warriors on Wednesday.
Curry Finishes with 27 Points
Stephen Curry shot 8-of-20 from the field and 7-of-7 from the foul line in Monday’s 119-112 loss to the Knicks. He scored 27 points with five rebounds, five assists, and four 3-pointers in 33 minutes. Curry got off to a slow start. He missed all three shot attempts in the first quarter. He managed to get going during the second and third quarters, but he was 1-of-5 from the field in the fourth quarter.
Curry has scored at least 27 points in three of the four games he’s played since tallying just four in a March 3 loss to the Celtics. Shooting 43.8% from the field, he ranks just outside the top 50 in 8- and 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. Curry and the Warriors, now below .500 at home, play three more games in Week 21. That begins with the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
