Why are the Grizzlies so capable of covering?
The focal point Jonas Valanciunas led the NBA with 23 points and 23 rebounds in a 100-96
victory over San Antonio. It was his fourth 20-20 game of the season.He also had a big game
with 29 points and 16 rebounds in Sunday’s loss to Golden State, giving him six double-doubles
in a row and nine in his last ten games. In his last six games, Valanciunas has averaged 16.7
rebounds per game, including 31 in a back-to-back against Golden State in March.
Dillon Brooks set a new career high with 24 points against the Spurs, capping a five-game run in
which he averaged 23.4 points per game, including 18 before fouling out at Golden
State.Memphis’ top scorer, Ja Morant, had 20 points, six rebounds, and six assists on
Wednesday, and he came close to a double-double with 16 points and nine assists against
Golden State.
Why are the Warriors so good at covering?
Stephen Curry, a two-time Most Valuable Player, was one of three players nominated for the
award this year after leading the NBA in scoring and guiding Golden State to a 15-5 regular-
season finish.Prior to his 46-point explosion in Sunday’s victory, Curry had not faced the
Grizzlies in the previous two seasons due to injuries. He’s averaging 36.8 points per game in his
last ten games, and he’s hit at least six 3-pointers eight times.
Andrew Wiggins, the team’s second-leading scorer, has averaged 26.7 points and shot at least
55% from the field in each of his last three games. In each of the three meetings with the
Grizzlies, he has scored at least 20 points, including a season-high 40 on March 19.Jordan
Poole, a second-year guard, has also had success against Memphis this season, averaging 22.0
points and three 3-pointers per game.
