NBA Odds: Thunder-Grizzlies prediction, odds and pick

The Oklahoma City Thunder (11-13) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (15-9) at 8:10 pm ET. Oklahoma has won three consecutive games but is still in 12th place in the Western Conference. Memphis has also won 3 straight games and is third in West. This is the second of four games between the teams this season.

Oklahoma City has been one of the more surprising teams in the Western Conference this season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 30+ points in ten of his last 11 consecutive games. However, he has struggled against Memphis. The Thunder have been struggling on the road this year. They have a 5-8 record on that road. Rookie forward Jalen Williams has improved recently. He averaged 13.8 PPG on 57% shooting in his recent games against the Grizzlies.

Memphis Grizzlies are 9-2 at home and have one of the best home records in the league. Memphis is a strong team thanks to their all-around play. They rank 10th in scoring and 10 th in offensive efficiency. Jaren Jackson Jr. is coming back from an injury and is playing well. Ja Morant is going to face Gilegous-Alexander tonight. He scored 19 points in their previous meeting. The Grizzlies won the previous game.

Memphis could easily dominate the glass tonight but I expect a motivated SGA to keep the Thunder close.

Oklahoma City Thunder are +8 to beat the Memphis Grizzlies.
