Therefore, if the Grizzlies keep the game close, things could get very intriguing. 

A win on the night would send the series to a Game 7, which would be on their home court back in Tennessee.  

The Grizzlies made the playoffs last season as the eighth seed, but they lost in the first-round of the playoffs to the Utah Jazz.

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

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