Memphis was in a similar situation last year in the bubble, needing to win the regular-season finale over Milwaukee to earn a spot in the play-in game against Portland. The Grizzlies beat the Bucks 119-106 to get in. The winner of this game will secure the 8th seed in the West. I like the road team in this spot!
There's a lot on the line in this regular-season finale with the Grizzlies and Warriors tied for the No. 8 seed, which comes with two shots to make the playoffs in the play-in tournament. The loser of Sunday's matchup will be the 9-seed, facing a one-and-done possibility in the 9-10 matchup. My simulation sees a tight game where Memphis covers the +5 two-thirds of the time.
