Grizzlies vs Thunder Betting Trends
- Grizzlies: 24-29 ATS in conference games
- Thunder: 27-12 ATS as home favorite.
What better way to kick off the work week than with some NBA playoff odds, am I right? The Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder square off again – and with OKC delivering a 50-point beatdown in Game 1, the odds are heavily leaning its way again.
Before we cover anything else, do me a favor: Reject that call from your boss, and let’s dive into the NBA lines to see who’s taking a Game 2 win.
Grizzlies vs Thunder Prediction
If the regular season taught us anything, it’s this: the Thunder own this matchup. Sure, playoffs are different, but my NBA game predictions have OKC winning outright. Yes, Memphis can score, but the Grizzlies can’t protect the ball, averaging 15 turnovers per game – and that’s a problem against a team averaging 10.3 steals. Bank on Oklahoma City’s defense to set the tone and make it six straight over Memphis. Final score: Thunder 117, Grizzlies 106.
Grizzlies vs Thunder Best 3 NBA Player Props Today
1. Luguentz Dort Under 9.5 Points (-121)
The Grizzlies’ offense was as pathetic as my nephew’s free throw (and trust me, it’s bad) – mostly thanks to Thunder SG Luguentz Dort doing what he does best: wreaking havoc on defense. So, for NBA prop betting, I’m taking Dort to stay under 9.5 points. He’s already not a key scorer in this offense, and with all his energy going into locking down Memphis’ guard front, I like him to fall short of double digits.
2. Desmond Bane Under 2.5 Threes (-102)
The Thunder brought the hammer down on defense in Game 1, and I see more of the same coming – which is why SG Desmond Bane to stay under 2.5 threes is next up on my NBA picks today. After going ice cold, shooting 1-for-9 from deep, and Oklahoma City holding him to under 3 made triples in three straight matchups, I’m not anticipating any sudden microwave moment. Bank on the under.
Bet Desmond Bane Under 2.5 Threes (+100)
3. Chet Homgren 2+ Threes (+106)
While you can expect a more aggressive Grizzlies team this time out, I’m still locking in Thunder PF Chet Holmgren to hit 2+ 3-pointers. Yes, he’s a 7-footer, but we all know Holmgren doesn’t have the muscle to really play inside. Not to mention, he’s hit this mark in four of his last five games, and with the Grizzlies allergic to guarding the perimeter, I’m betting on the lanky giant to drill another pair of triples.
Bet on Chet Holmgren 2+ Threes (+106)
Grizzlies vs Thunder Moneyline Pick
Look, we have a turnover-prone offense going up against one of the best defensive teams in the league—in NBA matchups like this, how do you think it will end up? The Grizzlies got manhandled every time they faced Oklahoma City this season, losing each game by 13+ points, per NBA betting news, and I see more of the same here. Expect the Thunder to clamp down, force turnovers, and control the pace.
Grizzlies vs Thunder Spread Pick
Make no mistake, 14.5 points on the NBA spread is hefty, but I have the Thunder covering. Why? The Grizzlies have had ball security issues all season, and now they’re facing the league’s top team in steals. With ongoing turnover issues, it’s like blood in the water for Oklahoma City, and you can bet the Thunder’s defense will be all over it, like last game. Lay the points with Oklahoma City.
Grizzlies vs Thunder Over/Under Pick
I’ve got no doubt the Grizzlies will try to crank things up on offense after losing by 51 points in Game 1, but it won’t change much – I’m still rolling with the under. Just like every matchup this season, the Thunder’s defense has been judge, jury, and executioner. And with OKC setting the tone again, I don’t see this one sneaking past the 229-point mark.
Bet on Grizzlies vs Thunder Under 229
