While many thought that the departure of Klay Thompson would leave a gaping hole in the hull of the Warriors’ ship, they have in fact sailed on.
After recording 6-0 in the preseason, the Warriors are sailing strong in the Western Conference with a 9-2 record this season.

Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Buddy Hield’s imperious form make the Warriors hot favorites in this game.
The Warriors enter this game with a 9-2 record, while the Grizzlies have a 7-4 record this season.
