Game Preview
The Thunder play the best basketball in the NBA, or at least the most consistent. This team has 40 wins and nine defeats so far this year, with seven triumphs in the last ten events.
OKC Thunder is still the No. 1 defense in the NBA, allowing only 104.6 points per game. They force the rivals to shoot only 43% from the field, the lowest percentage in the league. So it’s safe to say that the Thunder relies on defense this season.
The Memphis Grizzlies are the hottest team in the league. They are 9-1 STRAIGHT UP in the last 10 games. Unlike the Thunder, Memphis is the No.1 offense in the NBA, with 123.8 points per game scored.

Thunder vs. Grizzlies Prediction
The Thunder always tries to slow down the pace, yet that’ll be very hard against Memphis at home. Sooner or later, OKC will have to adapt and start playing faster because they know how to do that. After all, Thunder has a small-ball lineup that is very adaptable, which is why we expect to see more than 234.5 points here.
