Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
The Grizzlies have been winning and covering numbers lately, despite having a CVS receipt for an injury report. However, at some point these injuries will take its toll, and it’s usually spots like this. Even at full strength, the Thunder has owned the Grizzlies, which includes being 10-0 SU and 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Most of those games weren’t close. The Grizzlies haven’t beat the Thunder since December 2022. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was in theaters. It’s a massive number, but we’ve seen this movie before with OKC. The Thunder are 7-4 ATS in their last 11 games as double-digit favorites. I’ll lay the points.
