Thunder vs Grizzlies Prediction
Just when it looked like the Thunder were going to go into a rough patch, they won two games against the Cavs. Give them credit. I’m still not eager to lay points with OKC against good teams given their injury situation. The Thunder are undermanned quite a bit. I think we can call the Grizzlies a good team through 8 games, as they’re 6-2 SU and ATS. The Grizzlies are top-10 in points, field goal percentage, three-point percentage, as well as defensive field goal percentage and three-point percentage.
Obviously, we’ll learn more about the Grizzlies in games like this, as there are stakes on the line with the NBA Cup and it’s against champions, but the value is with the points. The Grizzlies have looked good and have been a money maker. Give me the free buckets.
