The Golden State Warriors have caught flak all season for how they've performed away from home. However, there's another Western Conference team in the NBA postseason desperately hoping to shake the road blues: the Memphis Grizzlies.
If we're talking Game 6 betting trends vs. the Lakers, Memphis is aiming to pull off a feat it hasn't all season: win a road game as an underdog.

It's true: the Grizzlies do not have a single win this season — regular or postseason — as a road underdog. They are 0-17 straight up and 2-15 against the spread when catching points away from home entering Friday's Game 6 at the Lakers.
In fact, the trend traces all the back to the 2021-22 season.
The last time the Grizzlies won a game as a road underdog was Jan. 21, 2022, against the Nuggets — a span of 24 games.
