Atomic's NBA Thursday Best Bet #2: Warriors @ Grizzlies - 3/9

Atomic has found a hot matchup for the Warriors' game in Memphis in tonight's NBA slate!

Klay is over in his last 10 out of 13 games with Stephen Curry where he logs 32 or more minutes with no Wiggins I really am not concerned about him possibly getting fewer minutes. The Memphis Grizzlies are allowing the #9 most 3 point attempts per game in the entire NBA & while they are a good defensive team they have spots you can attack we all know Brooks will have the Curry matchup leaving Bane/Jones who are not really positive defenders to then defend Klay who has been back to his normal form so this line doesn't feel too crazy for me if I am being honest. Klay is over in his L19/24 games where he logs 30 or more minutes & with Curry being in I really am not concerned as he should still get big minutes with Wiggins OUT.

The Grizzlies are top 6 in the NBA in pace while the Golden State Warriors are #1 so we should see a ton of possessions & this is a line Klay has managed to hit a ton of times when getting 32+ minutes in a game with a 1 point spread it should be close so we should see Klay play into the 4th quarter in a good matchup with the Grizzlies worst defenders on him in 2 games against the Grizzlies Klay had 24 & 24 however, he took 23 & 25 FGA which is literally more if not exactly his normal points line in this one so he really just needs to shoot average for us to have a shot here. The Grizzlies have been giving up the #6 most 3 point makes per game to shooting guards & Klay scores 60% of his PTS from 3 so this is just the perfect matchup as Memphis stops penetration & gives up 3s and he will have their worst defenders trying to defend him.
