The Golden State Warriors have found their groove, coming off back-to-back blowout wins in their second round series versus Memphis. They have a chance to close out the series tonight at Fedex Arena, and I can't see anything getting in their way of doing just that.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Steph Curry - The MVP scored 33 points on 11-of-22 shooting in his last game in Memphis, and he's averaged 28 points per game on the road and under 20 points per game at home in this series.
2. Road Warriors - The Warriors have not had any trouble winning on the road this season, with the league's best record of 31-14 away from home. They've covered the spread in nine of their last 13 road games versus a team with a winning record.
3. X-Factor - Tony Allen's injured hamstring appears to have really taken the wind out of the sails of the Grizzlies. He held the Warriors to 6-of-16 from the field, and 0-for-5 from beyond the arc as a defensive stopper in the first three games. He's expected to play tonight, but at less than 100 percent.
Selection: This is a play on the Golden State Warriors (5*)
