SAN FRANCISCO – The Memphis Grizzlies are significant underdogs to the Golden State Warriors now that Ja Morant is listed as Doubtful for Game 4.
Morant is regarded as an integral part of the Grizzlies’ offense, having won the NBA’s Most Improved Player award in the regular season.
He will be replaced by point guard Tyus Jones, who characterized Morant as frustrated, but in good spirits following the injury.

Game 4, the first one without Morant in the series, favors the Warriors by a significant margin. They dominated the Grizzlies in Game 3, winning by 30 points, and Morant’s absence likely won’t help matters.
