Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are gearing up for their play-in game against the Memphis Grizzlies after a heartbreaking loss to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the Warriors have a lot to be excited about, mainly due to this huge advantage that Steph has over the entire Grizzlies roster.

It's not really a surprise, but it's certainly a breathtaking stat in and of itself. The Grizzlies are one of the younger teams in the NBA, and Steph has been one of the most accomplished over the past decade.

Still, the winner goes on to snag the 8-seed in the Western Conference and a matchup with the Utah Jazz. The loser will head home and watch the remainder of the playoffs wondering what could have been.

So, advantage Warriors once again. Not just that, but Curry is playing extremely well, and if it wasn't for an insane LeBron 3-pointer to essentially seal the deal, the Warriors were in great position to earn the 7-seed and a battle with the Phoenix Suns.

Curry has been out of this world for the entirety of the 2020-2021 campaign and was even named as a finalist for MVP, which is unprecedented for a team fighting for their postseason lives.

Win or go home, plain and simple. With Steph on the court, it's hard to bet against the Warriors, especially after the way they lost against the Lakers. The Grizzlies have been warned.
