Tonight's SoFi Play-In Tournament Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors matchup in San Francisco will be dynamite. 

Since acquiring Jimmy Butler, the Warriors have been on fire, posting an astounding 23-8 record. Jimmy Butler, although PPG has trailed off in recent years, is a known dual-capability disruptor. He can shoot and set up plays, and his ball IQ is unmatched. And yes, he allows Steph Curry to be guarded less effectively so Curry can shoot even more from downtown.

The kicker? The Warriors play on their home turf tonight in a do-or-die game where the winner secures one of the four positions left for 2025 NBA playoffs. 

Unfortunately for Memphis, they have an uphill battle ahead of them: The Grizzlies are 4-6 in their last ten and lack their former head coach, Taylor Jenkins. To top off the chaos, the Warriors just beat the Grizzlies in early April, defeating the Grizzlies 134-125, with Stephen Curry scoring an insane 52 points, which included going 12-for-20 from downtown.

What are the odds for the Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors SoFi play-in game tonight?
