While it is highly unlikely the Grizzlies make up the 8.5 game deficit they face, they currently sit just 1.5 games up on 3rd place Houston. They’ll look to take another step forward in hopes of holding onto that 2 seed when they take the court on Friday.
Golden State
The Warriors come in with a comfortable 8.5 game cushion on the 2nd place Memphis Grizzlies entering Friday night. With the season winding down, Golden State will look to send a message to the rest of the Western Conference with a win over Memphis.

With a win on Friday, Golden State can match the record for franchise wins in a season. However, the only team they have yet to beat in the 2014-2015 season is the Memphis Grizzlies.
Back on December 16th, Golden State fell inside FedEx Forum 105-98. Curry led the way for Golden State with 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Thompson contributed 22 points and 2 rebounds, but the Warriors failed to get any support from the rest of the cast.
Golden State will have F David Lee back this time around as he missed the first meeting with the two teams. Lee is averaging 8.1 points a game this season.
Warriors guard Draymond Green told the media that this game is extremely important to send a message to Memphis that Golden State is the team to beat in the West.
Memphis
The Grizzlies have been the team to give Golden State fits over the years. Memphis has won 12 of 14 meetings between the two teams.

That has been thanks in large part to the big man duo of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol. The two have dominated the paint consistently against the Warriors.
However, Memphis comes in off a disappointing loss in front of their home fans last time out. The Grizzlies couldn’t handle Lebron James and the Cavaliers as they were ran right off their home floor 111-89. The loss opened the door for 3 seed Houston to gain a full game on the Grizzlies as they now sit just 2 games back of them in the standings.
This will mark the 2nd of 3 straight games Memphis will play in against top teams in the NBA. After dropping the first one to Cleveland, they’ll have to deal with San Antonio following this contest with the Warriors.
