The Golden State Warriors will be up against the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference Semi-Finals.
The Golden State Warriors are once again back to where they belong, i.e the favorite to win the Championship. They handled the business against the Denver Nuggets quite easily in the first round of the playoffs and will face the Grizzlies up next.
On the other hand, the Memphis Grizzlies had to work hard to win their series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as they had to come from large deficits in almost every game. However, they’ll have to be better in this series or the Warriors will make light work for them.
Warriors:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andre Iguodala | SG | Wed, Apr 27 | Neck | Expected to be out until at least May 4 |
| James Wiseman | C | Sat, Mar 26 | Knee | Out for the season |
Grizzlies:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ziaire Williams | SF | Fri, Apr 29 | Knee | Expected to be out until at least May 1 |
| Steven Adams | C | Thu, Apr 28 | Covid-19 | Expected to be out until at least May 3 |
| Santi Aldama | PF | Thu, Apr 28 | Knee | Expected to be out until at least May 1 |
| Killian Tillie | PF | Thu, Apr 28 | Knee | Expected to be out until at least May 1 |
Ja Morant didn’t have a good series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and he needs to step up and show the world that he is the leader of this franchise. If he doesn’t step up to perform well against the Warriors, there is very less chance of Memphis getting anything from this series.
