Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been covering machines this season with a 38-25 ATS record. Only the Magic have been better at covering numbers than OKC. The Thunder are more than capable of blowing the doors off in this game. With that said, this is a lot of points and the Memphis Grizzlies remain a competitive bunch that plays hard. Also, the Thunder have failed to cover 3 straight games, and we have to question the motivation factor. It's not easy to get up for one of the worst teams in the league. Give me the Grizzlies and the free points.
