The Grizzlies stole Game 2 of this series with an upset win over the Warriors in Oakland, but I don't expect Stephen Curry and Golden State to let another one slip away here in Game 3. As tough as the Grizzlies are at home, the Warriors are an NBA best 30-13 on the road.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Stephen Curry - He scored a career low 19 points (playoffs) in Game 2, and you can bet on him being better here tonight. Curry may have been distracted by his MVP award ceremony: "It was weird," Curry said. "That is the best way I can put it. It's obviously my first time experiencing (it), as well as for my teammates. You want to stay in the moment and kind of stay focused on what the task is during the game. But obviously with the extracurricular stuff with the MVP and all of that, the celebration, and just change of routine to lead up to a game, it's different. I don't know if that's a huge reason why we lost or not. But I think when we started the game, we felt like, oh, we're ready to go. But it has been a long 48 hours. A lot of words, a lot of pictures, a lot of celebrating the accomplishment. Obviously, we didn't get it done tonight, but we'll be able to bounce back. I think the rest of the next three days will be huge to kind of rejuvenate ourselves and understand what we need to do to get a win in Memphis and try to make it happen."

2. Trends - The Warriors are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

3. X-Factor - The Warriors are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

Selection: This is a play on the Golden State Warriors (8*)
