Grizzlies at Thunder picks and predictionsPrediction<\/p>\n

Thunder 118, Grizzlies 102<\/p>\n

PASS.<\/p>\n

The Thunder are the much better team and will easily cover as -1400 favorites, but the risk of backing them here is not worth the reward. Pass here and bet on the spread and\/or Over\/Under instead.<\/p>\n

LEAN THUNDER -15.5 (-115).<\/p>\n

With OKC having just lost 2 of its last 3 games, look for the Thunder to come out with a different level of intensity to make this one ugly early. Expect the Thunder to force a lot of turnovers and suffocate this Grizzlies offense that is missing many key contributors.<\/p>\n

The Thunder are 10-0 against Memphis in the last 10 matchups while going 7-3 against the spread across those 10 battles.<\/p>\n

This is a lean because a point spread of 15.5 is always a bit risky, especially considering that the Grizzlies are 7-3 in their last 10 games.<\/p>\n

BET UNDER 229.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

OKC’s defense is legendary, and when this team really wants to lock in and get a win badly, it’s that defense that always serves as the catalyst.<\/p>\n

The Under has hit in 2 of Memphis’ last 3 games and is 6-3 in its last 9 overall. For Oklahoma City, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 games. The Under is also 7-2-1 in the previous 10 overall matchups between these squads, hitting in each of the last 3 meetings in Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n
