NBA Odds: Grizzlies-Thunder prediction, odds and pick
Memphis Grizzlies are on a seven-game winning streak. They beat the Milwaukee Bucks 142-101. Oklahoma City Thunder are struggling. The Grizzlies average 116.5 points per game.
The Thunder are on a five-game losing streak. They lost their previous two games by a combined four points.
The Grizzlies are the second-overall seed in the Western Conference. They have been playing exceptionally recently. Dillon Brooks has been a key player for them recently, especially on the defensive end. Memphis won the rebounding margin 56-39 against Milwaukee. The Grizzlies average 49 rebounds per game. The Thunder are a small team. Grizzlies have the most rebounds in NBA. It's possible they could cover the spread. If they do, they will have to deal with the Grizzlies' physicality.
The Thunder are on a seven-game losing streak. They lost to Memphis back on Dec. 7th. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable for tonight's game. He is the team's top scorer and is fresh off a 35-point outing against Minnesota. The Thunder committed 22 turnovers in their last game and 14.0 turnovers each game this season. They need to be more aggressive and use shot-fakes to drive to the hole.
Grizzlies are the hottest team in the NBA.
