WATCH: Grizzlies at Warriors on Playback
We’ll be live on Playback at 8:30 pm.
Fear the Sword will be hosting an NBA watch party tonight on Playback. We’ll be surfing League Pass, starting with the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies at 8:30 pm.
Unfortunately, this marquee matchup might not be as electric as we originally thought. Stephen Curry is OUT with injury management and the Grizzlies have been decimated by injuries across the roster. That means we’ll keep our options open tonight as we browse a few other games.
- Phoenix Suns at Indiana Pacers - 7 pm
- Minnesota Timberwolves at Detroit Pistons - 7 pm
- Denver Nuggets at San Antonio Spurs - 8 pm
- Portland Trail Blazers at Milwaukee Bucks - 8 pm
- New York Knicks at Chicago Bulls at 8 pm
This should be an exciting slate of NBA games even if our highlighted one is a dud. Spurs vs Nuggets is a back-to-back rematch between two teams who just met the night before. Victor Wembanyama (35 points, 18 rebounds) and Nikola Jokic (41 points, 18 rebounds) put on an absolute show. Hopefully both stars will be available to play again tonight as right now, neither team has submitted their injury reports.
Focusing back on our primary matchup, the Grizzlies have continued to win games despite their injury woes. They sit in second place of the Western Conference with a 23-12 record while they’ve gone 6-4 over their last 10. Jaren Jackson Jr. is having another career-year, averaging 22.3 points and 6.8 rebounds.
The Warriors, on the other hand, have lost all steam after beginning the season 12-3. The Dubs have gone just 5-13 since then as they’ve slid all the way to 9th in the Western Conference. Without Curry tonight, they could continue to fall another game. We’ll see if the recent addition of Dennis Schroder can help them navigate tonight’s game.
