Conference Semifinals Game 4 Monday May 9, 2022 at 10:00 pm ET
The spread for this game is not out yet as it hinges on the health of star point guard, Ja Morant. The Memphis guard tweaked his knee in Game 3 and was seen limping as he left the arena. As explosive as Morant has been this season, his wild style of play has led to a few minor injuries throughout the year. The Warriors were -7.0 favorites in Game 3 at home, and eventually won by 30 points. If Morant is out for Game 4, we can expect Golden State to be double digit favorites at the bare minimum. You will likely read all of the analysis of how good Memphis was without Ja in the regular season. But these are the playoffs and Memphis is playing one of the more playoff proven teams in the NBA.
It doesn’t matter how many regular season games they won without Ja, this Warriors team are multi-time NBA Champions. Ultimately, I expect Ja to play, and even if he’s in I can see this spread opening closer to -10.0 given the blowout in Game 3. The Grizzlies will be getting Dillon Brooks and his stellar defense back in Game 4, but I am skeptical if that will be enough alongside a less than 100% Morant. If there has been any trend to follow between these two team it is to bet the Over in Game 4. Golden State Warriors lead the series 2-1.
