<p>The 2022 NBA Playoffs Semifinals continue Tuesday, May 3, with the Western Conference showdown from FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee, so we bring you the best Warriors vs. Grizzlies betting pick and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Memphis welcomes Golden State for Game 2, and the Grizzlies open as small 2-point home underdogs on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>. The Warriors are -130 moneyline favorites, while the totals sit at 226.5 points.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Dubs won the opener but failed to cover&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Golden State Warriors (57-30; 44-39-4 ATS) escaped with a 117-116 victory in Game 1, but they failed to cover a 2-point spread at FedExForum. The Dubs overcame a six-point deficit from halftime, playing without Draymond Green, who was ejected for a flagrant foul.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Warriors shot 48.4% from the field and 36.8% from downtown (14-for-38), but they also missed seven of their 20 attempts from the free-throw line. Golden State outscored Memphis 56-44 in the paint and handed out five assists more than its opponent (31-26).&nbsp;</p>



<p>Jordan Poole led the way for the Warriors with 31 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds in 38 minutes off the bench. Stephen Curry added 24 points and four dimes, while Klay Thompson had only 15 points on a poor 6-for-19 shooting from the field.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Grizzlies missed Steven Adams in Game 1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Memphis Grizzlies (60-29; 56-32-1 ATS) couldn’t count on their big man in Game 1, as Steven Adams missed his second straight game due to health and safety protocols. Adams fell out of the Grizzlies’ rotation in the first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the 6-foot-11 center was expected to play an important role against Golden State in the semifinals.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As I’ve mentioned, the Dubs outscored the Grizzlies in the paint last Sunday. Memphis shot 43.2% from the field and 40.0% from beyond the 3-point line (16-for-40). Ja Morant led the charge for the Grizzlies with 34 points, ten assists, and nine rebounds, while Jaren Jackson Jr. posted a double-double of 33 points and ten boards.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Memphis needs more from its role players. Desmond Bane scored nine points in Game 2, while Dillon Brooks had only eight points on a terrible 3-for-13 shooting from the field. Brandon Clarke, who’s averaged 16.5 points and 9.0 boards in the first round, accounted for 12 points, nine rebounds, and a couple of assists and steals in Game 1 against the Warriors.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Golden State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>8-4 ATS in the last 12 games overall&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Memphis:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-7 ATS in the last 11 playoff games&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>I was expecting a hard-fought battle in Game 1, but getting burned on the Warriors to cover a 2-point spread was a painful experience. Tuesday’s encounter should bring more of the same, and I have to take the Dubs once more.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Golden State owns plenty of experience. The Warriors’ best players have made it to the conference semifinals for the seventh time in ten years. Draymond Green will help if he avoids another ejection, while Jordan Poole could be an X-factor once more. Poole has been terrific so far this postseason.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Golden State Warriors -2.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>Game 1 went over a 220.5-point line, so the bookmakers set 226.5-point chalk for Game 2. Both teams prefer to play at a fast pace, and they recorded 101.5 possessions in the opener. However, the Warriors and Grizzlies are also capable of playing tough defense, so I lean the under.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Eight of the last 12 meetings between the Warriors and Grizzlies have gone under the total. Also, the under is 4-2 in Memphis’ previous six contests overall, while the over is 6-1 in the Warriors’ previous seven contests at any location.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 226.5 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

With the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in two weeks and a great unknown down in South Carolina on the schedule next week at Congaree Golf Club, we have a field that basically resembles a major this week at Muirfield Village on the outskirts of Columbus for the Memorial Tournament.

The players attempted to tackle the Muirfield Village course in back-to-back weeks last season. The COVID-19 pandemic altered the PGA Tour schedule in a big way, so to try and limit travel and make up some events, the Workday Charity Open and the Memorial Tournament were held in consecutive weeks in Ohio.

This year, we just have the Memorial Tournament, so we’ll handicap that one with help from the odds at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a>. Those will be at the bottom of the page.
<h3><strong><u>Betting Odds &amp; The Field</u></strong></h3>
This tournament has Invitational status, which means that 120 players are in the field. Basically, if you’ve won an event, rank in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking, or were in the top 70 of last year’s FedEx Cup points list, you are invited. It doesn’t take much to get in the field, but you have to some sort of standing to get in.

Jon Rahm is the defending champ and the +1100 favorite. Collin Morikawa, who won the Workday Charity Open, is a co-second favorite along with Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy at +1800. Dustin Johnson is about the only really big name not in the field this week.

Viktor Hovland is +2000. Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele are the +2200 players and then guys like Corey Conners, Hideki Matsuyama, Tony Finau, Matthew Fitzpatrick, and Patrick Reed are all in the next set of players.

This is more or less going to be the final tune-up for a lot of players prior to the visit to Torrey Pines. Next week’s Congaree Golf Club is something of a mystery and the players may opt to head west instead of spending a few days in South Carolina.
<h3><strong><u>Muirfield</u></strong><strong><u> Village</u></strong><strong><u> Golf Club Profile</u></strong></h3>
Muirfield Village will look different this year. A major renovation took place after last year’s two tournaments, so the course will have some new characteristics. The greens have been redone. New trees have been planted. The tee boxes have been resurfaced. The irrigation has been improved, which is good because it has been quite dry in Ohio over the last few weeks.

Some holes will play longer, while others will have narrower fairways. There are a lot of changes that the players will have to contend with for this season and we won’t really know how most of them will play until we actually see some shots and hear what players have to say after the practice rounds.

The course will play about 7,550 yards in all likelihood. Weather looks dry for the most part this week, so the fairways will be bouncy and have some roll, but the greens may not be too receptive. We’ll see with the new green complexes.

<h3><strong><u>Yay or Neigh?</u></strong></h3>
Looking at our horse for course section, it is worth pointing out that there will be those differences, but some guys have played really well here and others have not. When Rahm won last year, he had only played once at Muirfield Village otherwise and missed the cut, so course form may not matter a whole lot.

Matt Kuchar is maybe the best player here not named Tiger Woods, with a win in 2013 and seven top-10 finishes since 2008. He finished outside the top 30 last season and missed the cut in 2019, so his recent course form is lacking. Those are two of the better players here in the past, so that angle may not be as important this week.

As far as other guys that have played well and are in the field, Patrick Cantlay was 32nd last year, but won in 2019 and was fourth in 2018. He was seventh in the Workday Charity Open last year. Another short price, Bryson DeChambeau, was the winner back in 2018 and finished 22nd in 2019. He missed the cut here last year, though.

Hideki Matsuyama is another short price with a win and two other top-five finishes here. He was 22nd and took a MC in the two events last year. Jordan Spieth has two top-10 and five top-20 finishes at Muirfield Village, including a 13th here last year.

Rickie Fowler has actually played very well here with two runner-up finishes and a 14th in 2019. He was just outside the top 20 at the Workday, but missed the cut at the Memorial last season. Fowler is 70/1.

Kevin Streelman was seventh at the Workday, but 54th in the Memorial. He has three other top-10 finishes here in his career. Gary Woodland had a top-five and a top-25 finish here last year to go with two other top-10 finishes and two other top-25 finishes for his career. Streelman is 50/1 and Woodland is 60/1.
<h3><strong><u>Recent Form</u></strong></h3>
Phil Mickelson will take this week off, so the PGA Champ will not be on hand. Recent winners that will be on hand include Matsuyama, who won The Masters at Augusta National, Sam Burns, who won the Valspar Championship, K.H. Lee, who won the AT&amp;T Byron Nelson, and Rory McIlroy, the winner of the Wells Fargo Championship.

As far as other guys that have played well lately, Keegan Bradley was second at the Valspar and then in the top 20 at the Wells Fargo and the PGA. Corey Conners has three top-25 finishes in his last four starts and had that strong effort at The Masters as well. Conners has a short price at +2800 and Bradley is +5000.

Tony Finau might be knocking on the door with a couple top-20 finishes the last two weeks. If he could get over the Sunday Scaries, +2800 isn’t a bad look for him. He was eighth here last year in the Memorial Tournament.

Speaking of knocking on doors, Charley Hoffman was third last week at the Charles Schwab Challenge and has three straight top-20 finishes. He actually has seven top-20 finishes in his last eight events. He was seventh in the Workday Charity Open here last year and comes in at 45/1.

Viktor Hovland had back-to-back third-place finishes at the Valspar and Wells Fargo. Patton Kizzire has that right now with thirds at the Byron Nelson and in the Charles Schwab. Troy Merritt quietly has three top-eight finishes over his last four events. He’s a long shot at 150/1. Kizzire is 110/1.

Morikawa, the winner of the Workday Charity Open, has a couple straight top-15 showings. He’s also one of the shortest prices on the board.
<h3><strong><u>Memorial Tournament Picks</u></strong></h3>
This is an excellent field with a lot of players capable of making some noise. Tony Finau makes the card at +2800 this week. Sure, he needs to get over that hump and win one, but he’s an easy-going guy that should roll with the punches as far as the modifications to the course. He’s also a guy that winds up in contention a lot.

Gary Woodland at +6000 is also a decent look here, as he’s improved his form recently and seems to be building up towards winning an event with a solid field.

You’d be crazy to leave off Charley Hoffman at +5000 with how well he’s been going also. One of the short prices probably wins the tournament, but there are some guys in the midrange with some great recent results.

Coverage of the Memorial Tournament will be on Golf Channel and CBS throughout the weekend.
