NBA: Golden State Warriors vs Memphis Grizzlies Injury Reports, Predicted Lineups, and Starting 5s

The Golden State Warriors will travel to Memphis, Tennessee, to face the Memphis Grizzlies in the first game of their Western Conference semifinal series on Wednesday. It will be a battle between the Warriors' offensive juggernaut and a Memphis team that is bursting with youth and explosiveness. The Golden State Warriors suffered a setback against the Boston Celtics when superstar Steph Curry was forced to leave the game with an ankle injury. The sharpshooter, on the other hand, returned during the Nuggets' 4-1 first-round victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. The emergence of Jordan Poole, on the other hand, has provided the team with a legitimate third-scoring option, as evidenced by their convincing victory over the Nuggets.

The Memphis Grizzlies, led by Ja Morant, rallied from double-digit deficits three times to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 4-2 in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
