  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 13-2 in their last 15 games
  • Memphis Grizzlies are 1-8-1 ATS in their previous 10 games
  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 7-0 in the last 7 meetings with Memphis
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of the last 9 meetings (1 push)

Head To Head

  • Oklahoma City Thunder lead the all-time series 81-45
  • Oklahoma City Thunder won 125-112 when the two teams last met on February 8

Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City head to Memphis looking to extend a great run of form that has seen them win 13 of their last 15 games and each of the last four.

The Thunder kicked off this great run on February 1 as they blew out Sacramento at home, 144-110, sparking a seven-game win streak.

That run was halted by a 116-101 loss in Minnesota, but they responded immediately to win 130-107 in Utah and 130-123 at the Timberwolves.

Oklahoma City then lost 131-128 in overtime at home to Minnesota, only to bounce back in superb fashion over the last several days.

The Thunder won 129-121 in Brooklyn, 135-119 at Atlanta and 146-132 in San Antonio, before returning home to down Houston 137-128.

Memphis Grizzlies Form

Memphis go into this game in need of a victory, having lost six of their last eight games and each of the previous three.

The Grizzlies’ poor run began on the road as they followed up a 128-114 defeat at the LA Clippers with a 127-113 loss in Indiana.

They avoided a third straight loss by winning 105-104 in Orlando, only to immediately return to losing ways with a 129-123 defeat to Cleveland.

Memphis then enjoyed a wining homecoming as they beat Phoenix 151-148 in overtime, but they once again failed to build on a victory.

The Grizzlies have lost three consecutive outings on their home court, losing 114-113 to New York, 130-128 to San Antonio and 132-130 to Atlanta.

Verdict

Oklahoma City are the better team in better form, and they are also in better health.

The Thunder have repeatedly got the better of Memphis in recent seasons, and we do not expect that trend to end here.
