Memphis Grizzlies vs Warriors Game 5 predictions

The Memphis Grizzlies have an incredibly difficult challenge ahead in Game 5. Not only will the team be without Ja Morant, but they are going to need players like Dillon Brooks and Desmond Bane to break out of their series-long scoring slumps.

This squad has sown they can hang with a fully healthy Warriors squad, now they just need to shore up their free-throw shooting and shot selection and they’ll be in a great position to compete.

Memphis has lost two games in this series by a combined 5 points. The Grizzlies have been right there the whole time (except for the huge Game 3 blowout).

Expect Brooks and Bane to have their best games of the entire series. The Grizzlies won’t win without them performing their best.

The Grizzlies, with their backs against the wall, are going to get a big win tonight and extend the series with ample contributions from a determined squad and a passionate crowd at FedEx Forum.
