Oklahoma City head to Memphis having rebounded from a couple of road defeats with back-to-back wins to improve to 6-2.
The Thunder opened the season with a 116-104 win in San Antonio, and followed that up at home as they beat Denver 96-83, the LA Clippers 108-101, and Phoenix 125-114.
Their perfect start was finally brought to a halt by a surprise 120-96 defeat in Dallas, and they failed to bounce back from that immediately as they lost 119-98 in Houston.
However, Oklahoma City have got back on track in recent days, winning their double-header with Cleveland.
The Thunder beat the Cavaliers 117-112 on the road, before returning home to record a 124-116 victory.
Memphis Grizzlies Form
Memphis come into this matchup having gone cold in recent days, losing back-to-back games to fall to 6-2.
The Grizzlies began the campaign with a 123-103 win over Utah at home, and backed that up with four straight wins on the road.
They beat Golden State 111-108, Sacramento 123-112, Utah 110-105 and Portland 124-103 during a perfect roadtrip.
Memphis then returned home to blow out Sacramento, 136-105, but they have not won since.
The Grizzlies six-game streak was ended by a 135-134 overtime defeat to New Orleans, and that was followed by a 107-103 defeat to Indiana.
Verdict
Oklahoma City are dealing with injuries, but they continue to stack up wins and they have dominated Memphis over the past couple of seasons.
The Grizzlies are coming off a couple of bad home losses too, so we are backing the Thunder to deliver on the road.
