Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction

The Memphis Grizzlies continue to compete, but they just don't have enough NBA players to consistently show up especially against good teams. The Oklahoma City Thunder keep racking up the victories, and they're 39-27 ATS on the season. Only the Magic have been more successful ATS in the NBA than the Thunder. We've said it many times this season, give me the cash cows and whatever the line is. OKC makes you money. I'll take the Thunder in a double-digit victory.
