Thunder vs Grizzlies predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 120, Memphis 110
Memphis’ offense has struggled to start this season. It ranks 25th in offensive rating (111.5) and 22nd in points per game (115.1), and it must now face the best defense in the NBA. Even without Lu Dort, who’s listed as questionable, it’ll have no shortage of elite point-of-attack defenders to throw at Ja Morant. And it’ll have two 7-footers in Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein, who can make life difficult for Jaren Jackson Jr. I’m going with OKC on the road.
