Grizzlies at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 122, Grizzlies 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies have not been good enough to think they could pull off an upset so even at +400, they aren't worth a play. And the Thunder are far too expensive to play on a -520 moneyline.

Against the spread

BET THUNDER -10.5 (-110).

Oklahoma City has covered large spreads all season and the Thunder is 2-0 as a double-digit favorite. Against the Utah Jazz on Dec. 11 they won by 14, and against the San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 14 they won by 36.

The Thunder have also been terrific covering at home. Memphis has lost 4 straight and has lost 3 of those by double figures. It is 9-15 ATS and may look ahead to late in the week and the return of Morant.

Expect OKC to come out and win with ease. Take THUNDER -10.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 228 (-110).

The Grizzlies have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 games, allowing 117 or more in 3 of those. The Thunder are 14-10 O/U on the season and have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 and in 5 of their last 7.

OKC has tallied 134 or more in 2 of its last 4 and has one of the most efficient offenses in the NBA. The Thunder sit 6th in pace this season. Expect a high-tempo battle.

Take OVER 228 (-110).
