“Y’all keep believing these type of people & helping em assassinate my character,” DaBaby wrote. “Y’all might as well get a rope & help him hang my black ass on a tree.” The video, which he’d apparently previously posted to TikTok contained a caption and automated voiceover (y’all gotta stop using that feature, it sounds awful) reading, “On today’s episode of ‘Let’s Make DaBaby look like a bad person’ we have Gary Pragar a PROUD white supremacist lying to TMZ & LAPD. Not knowing that he’s caught on camera.”

I don’t know anything about what kind of a person DaBaby is, but as an editor, that caption makes my eye itch. Meanwhile, it’s probably too late for DaBaby to change most folks’ opinions; after all, his career as most of us know didn’t really get started until after he shot a man to death during an altercation at a Walmart. While the authorities agreed with his self-defense argument, his behavior since then hasn’t drastically improved. Since releasing his debut album under his current moniker (changed from Baby Jesus in late 2018), he’s been involved in no fewer than six separate incidents of assault and/or battery — most recently against his child’s mother’s brother at a bowling alley.
Then, of course, there was the incident that turned public opinion against him the most, when he made some homophobic-sounding remarks during his set at Rolling Loud Miami in July 2021. He’s since apologized and defended himself but has also lashed out at critics, making those apologies ring hollow. As a person, I think we can all understand it’s no fun to feel like the world is against you. But at this point, he certainly must recognize that if the whole world seems to be against you — you might the be problem, not the world.
And if that is Gary Prager in the video he posted, then sure, you can argue the guy had it coming. But unfortunately, there’s no law protecting the right to knock out someone’s tooth for being a bigot. Hopefully, DaBaby can figure out some better conflict resolution skills and let karma do the heavy lifting in the future.
The “single most annoying problem” with Twitter isn’t accounts run by guys who take selfies in their car while wearing sunglasses — it’s bots. That’s according to Twitter’s potential new owner Elon Musk, who recently asked his 90 million definitely human followers if they want an edit button. When someone replied, “Elon, you need to do something about these Crypto spam bots. They’re getting really annoying. Improving the verification system to prove that you’re an actual *real* human would help with this,” Musk wrote back, “Yeah, single most annoying problem on twitter imo.”
The Tesla founder wants Twitter to be made up of “all real humans,” but that could put a major dent in his followers: Twitter auditing tool SparkToro “estimates that roughly 48 percent [of Musk’s followers] are fake,” according to Time. (“Fake” being defined as “unreachable and will not see the account’s tweets, either because they’re spam, bots, propaganda, etc. or because they’re no longer active on Twitter”):
Musk has nearly 7% more fake followers than the median 41% that accounts with a similar sized followings have, SparkToro reports. By analyzing more than 25 factors correlated with spam, bots, and low quality accounts, the auditing tool found that accounts that are on an unusually small number of lists, accounts that have no url or a non-resolving url in their profile, and accounts that have a suspiciously small number of followers were some of the most frequently observed traits of a sample of 2,000 random accounts from the most recent 100,000 accounts that followed Musk.
Musk’s 48 percent “fake” followers is in the ballpark of other prominent Twitter accounts, including Bill Gates (46 percent) and Kim Kardashian (45 percent). He’s the seventh most-followed account on the social media platform overall, after Barack Obama, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Taylor Swift, all of whom would also take a big hit if bots were miraculously kicked off Twitter. Except for the bots with Rick and Morty quotes in their bios. They’ll be allowed to stay.
After taking a week off, Last Week Tonight returned on Sunday evening where John Oliver proceeded to make a meal out of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis using the full weight of the state government to punish The Walt Disney Company for opposing the recently passed “Don’t Say Gay” bill. In a nutshell, DeSantis and state Republicans concocted a piece of legislation that reverses a decades old act that allowed Disney to operate as its own private government in certain districts. The entertainment conglomerate essentially taxed itself to provide critical social services in exchange for more freedom to develop its theme parks. However, with DeSantis dissolving that status, that leaves taxpayers on the hook for those services as well as a billion in bond debt.
True to form, Oliver went to town on DeSantis for clearly not having a plan for this whole thing. Via The Hollywood Reporter:
Oliver cut to a clip of DeSantis at a press conference, saying: “We’re gonna take care of all that. Don’t worry… we have everything thought out. Don’t let anyone tell you that somehow Disney‘s going to get a tax cut out of this. They’re going to pay more taxes as a result of it.”
Said Oliver: “There is just nothing more immediately off-putting than someone starting a sentence with ‘Don’t worry.’ It sounds like a frat boy trying to reason with the cops after a noise complaint: ‘Don’t worry, man. We’re gonna take care of all of that. We got everything thought out. You guys want a beer or something? You wanna hang out?’”
As Oliver later explained, he’s completely onboard with a mega corporation paying more in taxes, but not like this. “I don’t love that it might happen not through meaningful tax reform but on the whim of one right-wing dipshit who’s scared of gay people and doesn’t understand the First Amendment,” the late night host quipped. “But hey, ends, means, what are you gonna do?”
Is it May already? True crime adaptations, Jedis, and comedies are at the top of the TV pile as you hide from springtime pollen and stormy weather. In other words, you’ll almost certainly find a few shows here that fit your interests before those “blockbusters” of summer television (and movies) arrive. One of those bigger shows, Stranger Things, will arrive at the end of the month, but what else is on the way?
In the first category above, The Staircase and Candy will engross you and possibly gross you out at the same time. Star Wars fans will enjoy Ewan McGregor’s return to a universe far, far away. And if you need to laugh until your belly hurts, there’s several options for that, too, including Hacks, Ziwe, The Kids In The Hall, and Angelyne. Here are the shows worth putting on your list for May.
Ziwe: Season 2 (Showtime series streaming 5/1)
Ziwe Fumudoh, a former Desus & Mero writer, took her audience by storm last season while wielding comedy as a weapon to satirize socially relevant issues (while, at times, skewering her own guests) and also spread unfiltered chaos. After leading a focus group for real-life “Karens,” she’s moved onto more hard-hitting explorations in a bifurcated season. The first batch of episodes will feature a wide range of guests, including Chet Hanks, Emily Ratajkowski, Charlamagne Tha God, Chet Hanks, Ilana Glazer, Hannibal Buress, Mia Kalifa, Adam Pally, Nicole Byer, and Deux Moi.
Meltdown: Three Mile Island (Netflix documentary series streaming 5/4)
The team behind Erin Brockovich presents this limited series about how ordinary people stepped up to work extraordinary feats after a near-catastrophe at a Pennsylvania nuclear plant. Expect to see archival footage and reenactments along with home video that’s never been presented before in a public forum. In the end, director Kief Davidson (The Ivory Game) will also take viewers through the perspective of whistleblower Richard Parks to see how this terrible nuclear incident really went down.
The Staircase (HBO Max limited series streaming 5/5)
The true-crime docuseries (originally on Sundance TV) captivated enough people on Netflix that HBO Max decided to dramatize the story, and boy, did they accomplish that mission. Colin Firth plays Michael Peterson, who served prison time after the death of his wife, Kathleen (portrayed by Toni Collette) under mysterious circumstances. Sophie Turner and Parker Posey joined the cast, and there’s a (SPOILER ALERT) certain theory that won’t be overlooked. This shall be an eight-part adaptation that explores the nature of fact and fiction and goes to some unexpected places, as well.
The Pentaverate (Netflix series streaming 5/5)
Mike Myers (he’s back) wasn’t content to play a few characters in this series, so he decided to portray eight different personalities. Take that, Bridgertonnetball prop. The show revolves around the centuries-long aftermath of a catastrophe (the Black Plague of 1347), after which a secret society came together to make sure that humanity’s sh*t doesn’t go off the rails again. Since there (probably) won’t be anAustin Powers 4, we can all relax and enjoy Myers while feeling grateful that this isn’t a Love Guru sequel.
Bosch: Legacy (IMDb TV series streaming 5/6)
Let’s hope that Titus Welliver’s character eats more pancakes in this spinoff that sounds like straight-up Bosch, only in a different place than the O.G. Amazon Prime location. Yup, you’re getting more of Harry Bosch (still played by Welliver) while he takes on a new phase of his career, all while teaming up with Mimi Rogers’ Honey “Money” Chandler, and since they’re former enemies, expect things to grow increasingly complicated.
Candy (Hulu limited series streaming 5/9)
Jessica Biel portrays a 1980s housewife (Candy Montgomery) with two kids and the figurative picket fence and amazing husband. She’s also, however, an ax murderer who took out her frenemy, Betty Gore (Melanie Lynskey). With that out of the way, this show’s about tracing how Candy felt the crushing nature of conformity, and everything’s building to a boiling point. Pablo Schreiber is also aboard the cast, and he’s great in everything. Scammer shows might be all the rage, but the intrigue of more viscerally horrific true-crime adaptations shall never go out of style.
Hacks: Season 2 (HBO Max series streaming 5/13)
Jean Smart’s dueling curmudgeons won’t both return because we can’t always have nice things. Yet we still have her cranky comedian, Deborah, who’s back in the comedy game (this time on tour) with Hannah Einbinder’s Ava in tow. These two are the perfect foil and compliment to each other at the same time, but unfortunately for Ava, that horrible email is still out there, looming over both of them. Also, Jean gets to wield a chainsaw, and that’s worth the price of admission on its own, but getting to see the dynamic duo in action is something that we’re frankly not worthy of — we will take it.
The Kids In The Hall (Amazon Prime series streaming 5/13)
Yep, there’s another reboot coming your way, but this one arrives with a decent twist, at least in the trailer. The Canadian sketch troupe (Dave Foley, Mark McKinney, Bruce McCulloch, Scott Thompson, and Kevin McDonald) is back, and they’re taking aim at their newfound Amazon overlords. That’s all very circular, but perhaps this show will fare better than that movie that got shipped out after five well-received seasons on HBO and CBC Television. It won’t be a stressful affair, that’s for sure.
Angelyne (Peacock limited series streaming 5/19)
It’s Emmy Rossum, all bewigged and looking nothing like Fiona Gallagher, which is probably exactly the type of thing that Rossum wanted to do after a decade in the same role. Here, she portrays the iconic billboard queen and mysterious buxom blonde who parlayed herself into a sensation. Expect a whole lot of pink with hair, makeup, and wardrobe on (tacky) point. Hamish Linklater will look nothing like his usual self either, but I wouldn’t mind if he vamped out like his Midnight Mass character just for fun. And Rossum looks like she’s having a blast as a precursor to the Paris Hiltons of today.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+ series streaming 5/27)
Ewan McGregor returns as the title character, 10 years following Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith‘s events. Obi-Wan is attempting to shake off Anakin Skywalker’s downfall, and it’s guaranteed to be a struggle, given that the Jedi considers this to be “his greatest defeat.” Yep, his BFF has gone to the dark side and become and evil Sith Lord, and Hayden Christensen will return to once more do the honors there. Of course, this isn’t officially titled The Darth Vader Show, but The Mandalorian isn’t called The Baby Yoda Show either, and you know what happened there.
Stranger Things 4: Volume 1 (Netflix series streaming 5/27)
Bad hair abounds as darkness once again descends upon Hawkins, Indiana. Hopefully, there will be some answers regarding the Upside Down, and The Duffer Brothers are promising that this season’s delay is down to it simply becoming so big. Also, it’s spring break! But it’s not a fun time, since there’s new terror on the horizon and possible war. Fortunately, the gang is all back, including Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, and more. Also, Robert Englund will bring some Freddy Krueger flavor ahead of a fifth and final season.
Pistol (FX limited series streaming on Hulu 5/31)
Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Sunshine) directs this six-part story about the Sex Pistols’ guitarist and founder, Steve Jones, while he’s in the midst of a raging storm of revolution. It’s a funny and emotional odyssey of three swift years in musical history that shall live on forever. Aside from all of Sid Vicious’ violent drama, there’s a deeper story of working-class blokes who rose above the Establishment while transforming music and culture along the way. Toby Wallace stars as Jones, and look for Louis Partridge as Vicious, Maisie Williams as fellow punk icon Jordan, Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Malcolm McLaren, and Talulah Riley as Vivienne Westwood.
Lana Del Rey has collaborated with country star Nikki Lane before — whether it be through Lane co-writing the Chemtrails Over The Country Club track “Breaking Up Slowly” or Lane joining Del Rey on stage in Texas for “Prettiest Girl In Country Music.” Yesterday, the pair took a stage beside one another again, this time at the Stagecoach Festival in California. The “Summertime Sadness” singer joined Lane for “Breaking Up Slowly” and “Look Away.”
Their harmonies are powerful and haunting, and their chemistry is especially palpable when they share a microphone. Watch clips of their performance below.
When Lane joined Del Rey on stage in January, Del Rey spoke to the audience about the meaning behind “Prettiest Girl In Country Music” during the concert and revealed that it was created after Lane told her story about being hit on by an older man.
“Nikki told me a little story about him about he had a little meeting with her and he crept a little too close to her,” Lana said. “And he said, ‘How does it feel to be the prettiest girl in country music?’ and I was like, ‘Bleh!’” She added, “So immediately I wrote a little chorus and then we expanded.”
The Boston Celtics had a rough opening game in their second-round NBA Playoffs series against the Milwaukee Bucks, as they struggled and lost 101-89 on their home court at TD Garden, falling to 0-1 on the series. As for who took the biggest L of the night, though, it may not have even been Jayson Tatum and company, as Jack Harlow had a humbling (and pretty funny) moment while sitting courtside.
During a break in game action, in a mic’d-up moment between referees Scott Foster and Ed Malloy (who have reffed for 27 and 19 NBA seasons, respectively), Foster turns to Malloy and asks, “Who’s Jack Harlow?” After Foster repeats the question, Malloy answered, “I have no idea.” After Foster points him out, Malloy asks who he is and Foster responds, “I don’t know,” then adding with a smile, “Go ask him.”
While Harlow is of course one of today’s most popular rappers with a recent No. 1 single in “First Class,” it makes sense he might not be on the officials’ radar: Both men are in their 50s and the National Basketball Referees Association website lists Foster’s favorite musician as Darius Rucker and Malloy’s as U2.
Check out the moment above.

Here’s how the New York Timesdescribes the primary race in Ohio: “Republicans running for the seat of Ohio’s retiring senator, Rob Portman, appear determined to bury the soft-spoken country-club bonhomie that was once a hallmark of the party in this state, and replace it with the pugilistic brand of conservatism owned by Donald J. Trump and now amplified by the new band of Buckeye bomb throwers.”
One of those so-called “bomb throwers” is J.D. Vance, who has the support of the former-president even after the Hillbilly Elegy author referred to him as “America’s Hitler.” It might help if Trump could remember his name, though. During a “Save America” rally in Greenwood, Nebraska on Sunday in support of Charles Herbster, a Republican gubernatorial candidate who’s been accused of sexually assaulting eight women, Trump was bragging his accomplishments when he said, “You know, we’ve endorsed Dr. Oz. We’ve endorsed J.P., right? J.D. Mandel, and he’s doing great. They’re all doing good.”
Trump appeared to be confusing the names of J.D. Vance and his political rival Josh Mandel, who he once described as being “f*cking weird.” As noted by the Guardian, in the same rally in Greenwood, Trump mocked Joe Biden for “stumbling over his words.”
Ahead of the festival, RHCP drummer Chad Smith said in a Billboard interview, “We’re taking Alison, [Hawkins’] wife, with us and it’s going to be a celebration. That’s what she wants. She doesn’t want it to be anything other than, ‘Let’s celebrate music, let’s celebrate our friends, let’s celebrate Taylor. This is what he would want and he would be very happy that you guys are playing and he would want it be nothing but a positive experience.’ So we’re going to do all that and she’s going to be part of that and I’m very honored that we can do that with her. […] We’re going to play our hearts out.”
Sure enough, Hawkins definitely had a presence during the Chili Peppers’ set. Smith has an outline of a bird with “Hawkins” written on it on his drum set, and at the end of the band’s performance, Smith told the crowd, “We just found out about this two weeks ago, because Foo Fighters were supposed to play here tonight. We love Foo Fighters, and we love our brother Taylor Hawkins. This means a lot to us to be able to play for them.”
Check out that moment below.

Multiple times per week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts and ratings) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.
Natasha Lyonne’s walking that walk better than anyone else in this world with a trippier journey that transcends the first season’s Groundhog Day-esque time loop. Both Nadia and Charlie must conquer a new set of challenges in order to save themselves, and both Annie Murphy and Chloe Sevigny are crushing their supporting roles. Get ready for more stair shenanigans and transcendence from Oatmeal the Cat.
Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg go treasure-hunting together, and it’s a bit of a heist story that’s based upon the PlayStation phenomenon. One would do best to not expect a serious story and simply enjoy the ride here because these two movie stars are the odd couple, and that’s probably part of the intended charm of this project. It’s sheer fun, and if you want a little more bite, maybe go watch Free Guy again?
After a three-year hiatus, Bill Hader’s contract killer is back and not happy to be doing, you know, the contract-killing thing. He’s here to question everything he knows and explore why he can’t quit the game. Anthony Carrigan and Henry Winkler are back in their supporting roles to amp up the irresistible quotient here. Dancing and fish photos for all!
No one can escape the scathingly satiric viewpoint of Ziwe Fumudoh, former Desus & Mero writer and YouTube star in her own right. This season’s guests include Emily Ratajkowski, Hannibal Buress, Mia Khalifa, Charlamagne Tha God, and shambolic king Chet Hanks.
Bye bye for good, Edward Cullen. Robert Pattinson’s been warning us for quite some time that he’s got it going on when it comes to reinvention, and his Caped Crusader will see a sequel. Before then, you have time to catch up on his gritty, gothy version of Bruce Wayne as he’s joined by Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman, Paul Dano’s The Riddler, and Colin Ferrell’s Penguin. As with Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, ain’t the DCEU, so let the creative freedom roll, Matt Reeves.
Kaley Cuoco’s Cassie thought she had her (terminally messy) life all worked out, but as this season proves, the massive mayhem is only beginning. Cassie kicked the booze and replaced that fix with life as a CIA asset, which is obviously not a recipe for slowing down and chilling out. The action’s nonstop again and travels over to Iceland, all while Cassie tries to feel out another murder case that feels very personal. Thank goodness that Zosia Mamet and Rosie Perez are still here to flesh out the friendship dynamic while we all feed our need for globetrotting escapism.
Andrew Garfield stars as a detective (Jeb Pyre) who’s digging deep into a Salt Lake Valley, Utah double murder that went down in the 1980s. Daisy Edgar-Jones once again plays a character who doesn’t fare well in this story that’s based upon a Jon Krakauer true-crime bestselling book. As Pyre investigates the circumstances of the violence in question, he ends up stumbling upon truths that make him wonder exactly what’s going on within his own (LDS) church. Sam Worthington and Rory Culkin help round out the cast.
The Wire creator takes a very different law enforcement-related turn here with this six-part series that charts the rise and fall of a Baltimore PD branch that’s laden with corruption and sketchy tactics aplenty. Jon Bernthal, Wunmi Mosaku, and Jamie Hector lead the cast in this story that follows Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton’s book, which lights police practices on fire when it comes to the lengths that some cops will go to to look like drug-prohibition champions while pulling off their own dirty deeds.
Last week’s episode did not go well for one pivotal character, but there are plenty more with their fates on the line. The good news: Kim Wexler is still kicking, so maybe stop fretting about it, even though the show’s about to smash right into the Breaking Bad timeline. An atypical opening scene for this season means that perhaps we’ll see Cinnabon Gene down the line, but the good news is that we will apparently see Walt and Jesse make an appearance. All five of the first seasons are streaming on Netflix while this sixth and final round is doing the weekly release thing.
A ferociously enthused audience almost guarantees a second season for this story that follows Charlie and Nick as they move from fellow students to friends to love interests. In the process, they must navigate other friendships and various influences on the way to self-discovery and authenticity. Oh, and there’s rugby involved. A lot of rugby.
Jason Bateman’s baby has been an intense ride, and the final season is (fittingly) both shattering and savage. Carve out time to binge it all because everything’s all lined up to send off Ruth Langmore and the Byrde family in an unforgettable way. In the end, the show doesn’t quite live up to the Breaking Bad template, but there’s no denying that Ozark is a force of nature on its own two feet. Also, Killer Mike shows up for a cameo, and that cookie jar is back for one final hurrah.
If Game 1 between the Warriors and Grizzlies is an indicator of the quality of basketball we will see throughout the series, we are in for a treat, as Golden State, fueled by a 39-point third quarter spearheaded by Jordan Poole, swiped homecourt advantage with a 117-116 win.
The game was tight for much of the first quarter, but Memphis was able to draw first blood with a 9-0 spurt late to take an 8-point advantage into the second quarter. Leading the way was Ja Morant, who was orchestrating the Memphis offense beautifully, particularly when they could get out and run off of Warriors turnovers.
The Warriors would respond with their own run in the second quarter as Jordan Poole took center stage, finding open space on the perimeter to help Golden State reel Memphis back in.
The biggest moment of the first half came on a Draymond Green foul against Brandon Clarke, in which he hit the young Grizzlies center in the face going for a block and then dragged him down by his jersey. After review, it was determined that combination of fouls reached the criteria for a Flagrant 2, and Green was ejected from the game.
Almost immediately, the Grizzlies went on a run, with a pair of Morant baskets closing the half in style for the Grizzlies, pushing their lead to six at the break.
In the third quarter, Golden State came out with some added fire and a greater attention to detail on the offensive end, cutting down on turnovers and creating a number of open looks for Poole, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson, as their trio fo shooters started to get loose and helped turn a 6-point deficit into a 1-point lead going to the fourth.
The Warriors very well may have put the game away in the third quarter had it not been for the efforts of Jaren Jackson Jr., who buried three after three to keep the Grizzlies attached.
Early in the fourth it was the Warriors turn to go on another run, as Poole and Thompson hit some big shots to push the lead out to as many as 10 midway through the period.
As was the case in their first round series, the Grizzlies had a fourth quarter response ready, with Ja Morant taking center stage as they started to turn defense into offense after seeing their halfcourt sets get bogged down early in the quarter.
Every time the Grizzlies took a lead on a Morant bucket, the Warriors would end up getting an easy bucket on the other end, first off a second-chance dunk by Andrew Wiggins and then a blown coverage leading to a Gary Payton II dunk. Those offset Ja’s efforts and squared the game at 114-114, when Brandon Clarke gave Memphis a two-point edge on a lob play.
Golden State would find the answer in the form of Thompson, who drilled an open three (something Golden State otherwise struggled to do down the stretch) to push Golden State back in front.
On the next Memphis possession, Morant got Curry on a switch and tried to attack into a floater, but Steph was able to get his hand on the ball to force a turnover and set the Warriors up for a chance to go up three at the free throw line.
However, Thompson missed a pair of free throws on the other end and after a bizarre refereeing decision to call a jump ball after it appeared Dillon Brooks last touched it before it went out of bounds, Memphis had life at the end. The Grizzlies drew the final play up to get Morant going downhill to the bucket, but Thompson was able to wall him off from the rim and force a difficult scoop layup that didn’t come all that close.
It’s a tough loss to take if you’re the Grizzlies, having led by two inside the final minute after fighting back from a 10-point deficit. Their biggest issues were clearing the defensive glass, as the Warriors had 26 second chance points off of 16 offensive rebounds, and creating quality looks in the halfcourt for much of the third and fourth quarters, as their offense stalled once the Warriors started to take better control of the ball. Jaren Jackson Jr.’s effort (33 points), particularly in the third quarter, and Morant’s play down the stretch (34 points) was nearly enough to overcome that, as they became the first pair of Grizzlies to each score 30+ points in a playoff game in franchise history.
For Golden State, this game will feel like a bit of theft given they faced a six-point deficit at the half after Draymond got tossed, but they rode a hot shooting Poole, timely buckets from Thompson and Curry, and an impressive Green-less defensive effort to the win. Poole continues to impress, stepping up in games the Warriors desperately need him to, finishing with 31 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds off the bench. Curry had 24 points and Thompson had 15, but it was Poole’s effort that seemed to serve as the catalyst for their second half run in Green’s absence.
Now it’s on Memphis to at least split at home as they did in the last series, while the Warriors will hope a full game with Green will help improve their defense late in games, as Morant was able to get pretty much wherever he wanted.
