Series History

The Thunder are 2-0 against the Memphis Grizzlies so far this season (2-0 at home, 0-0 on the road).

Why the Thunder Will Cover (-11)

These two teams met 6 days in OKC, and the result was a 31-point bloodbath of a victory for the Thunder. The Grizzlies have a couple of guys back, including Desmond Bane, AND this game is in Memphis, but I’m expecting a double-digit victory, even if it is a bit closer than Sunday’s matchup was. Either way, OKC just needs to get in and get out with a solid win.

Why the Game Will Hit the Over (218.5)

Because the Grizzlies are marginally more healthy than they were on Sunday, I do expect them to score a few more points tonight, which would put the point total over the current line. That’s pretty much all it’s going to take because OKC should be able to score just fine.
