The Grizzlies have been one of the best surprises in the entire NBA this season.  

They had made the NBA Playoffs last season as the eighth seed in the Western Conference, but lost to the Utah Jazz in just five games. 

This season, they broke out into one of the elite teams in the NBA finishing as the second seed in the west.  

Morant also made his first All-Star Game, and started in the game.  

As for the Warriors, this is their first time in the NBA Playoffs since 2019 when they lost to the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals. 

The winner of this series will advance to the Western Conference Finals, and face off with the Phoenix Suns or Dallas Mavericks.
