Juan Carlos Navarro didn't attempt a shot in 13 minutes. No news of injury, but with Stoudamire and Conley sidelined, they need Navarro to play well.

I have
Grizz +190. There are a lot of questions in my mind about this game for me to be getting almost 2:1. I think the grizz have something like a 40-45% chance to win. Fatigue could be a factor, but the Grizz always play 48 minutes...even if they suck, so I'm not as concerned as I would be if it was the Heat or the Cavs.
