Draymond Green has put forth a phenomenal effort this season. He trails only Russell Westbrook (18) in triple doubles with 13, which is unfathomable for a forward. With the record on the line, Green will be all business this evening and notch his 14th of the season.

David Joerger has done an unbelievable job with the Grizzlies this season. Memphis has dealt with a plethora of injuries (Marc Gasol, Mike Conley) yet managed to hang on to a playoff berth down the stretch with a makeshift lineup. However, the Grizzlies as currently constructed have no chance to rain on Golden State's parade, and Steve Kerr knows it. Expect to see Kerr coach circles around Joerger, expertly countering everything Memphis attempts.

Golden State has appeared to be destined to break the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls' wins record all season. Say what you will about their style of play, but there's no denying these Warriors are among the best teams in NBA history. Sure, setting the wins record won't mean as much if they don't go on to win it all. However, it is still an amazing achievement.

TMZ caught up with Matt Barnes to ask him if he'd seen the clip floating around the Internet of him versus Derek Fisher on 'UFC 2'. Not only had Barnes seen the clip, he says that's exactly what would happen in real life and that he doesn't need an Octagon for it to happen.
