Desmond Bane's shooting struggles continue as he prepares to face the Golden State Warriors, known for their stifling perimeter defense.
Desmond Bane has struggled to find his shooting touch this season, and things aren't likely to get better against the tough Golden State Warriors defense. Two teams heading in opposite directions meet at FedExForum as the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies clash for the second time this season. Bane's production has plummeted to start 2023-24. He's attempting just 5.5 threes — the lowest mark since his rookie season — and is hitting a career-worst 31.7% of them.
Bane has hit multiple threes in nine of 19 games this season, but he's reached three triples in only three of them. He went 1 of 4 from beyond the arc when he faced the Warriors last season. In his lone game against the Warriors last year, Bane went 2-for-9 from 3-point range, and in the season prior, he averaged 1.8 triples and hit the Over on his 3-point total only once in four appearances. The shooting guard's struggles are unlikely to subside in a tough matchup against Golden State's perimeter defense. This season, the team has allowed the fourth-worst 3-point percentage and the eighth-fewest made threes, setting Bane up for a poor showing from downtown. The Dubs have been even stingier against opposing shooting guards, allowing the third-fewest made threes to that position. I'm taking this one regardless of Ja Morant's status, but if Morant ends up sitting this one out, Golden State's defense will focus even more attention on Bane.
