The Memphis Grizzlies are on the road to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first of three scheduled contests this season.
Memphis last played on Friday, losing 96-103 to the Rockets while the Thunder played Saturday erasing a fourth-quarter double-digit deficit to defeat the Nuggets 118-117.
Season Series
Last season the teams split their four meetings each taking two contests while the Thunder holds the all-time record between the squads with 67 victories in 102 matches.
Memphis Grizzlies
This is the 25th game of the season for the Grizzlies which means Ja Morant has served his suspension and could theorthetically return to the hardwood on Tuesday as the club completes a back-to-back set finishing in New Orleans.
Replicating the win totals from last season is likely out of reach but with Morant, the Grizzlies could string together a win streak and move up the ladder to play-in tournament seeding or possibly the final cemented playoff seed (6th).
Grizzlies Stats
Memphis ranks dead last offensively (106.5), and 11th defensively (112.7), with a net differential of minus -6.2 ranking 24th overall.
The Grizzlies are one of the lower-end performers against the spread with a 9-15 record through 24 contests.
Grizzlies Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Derrick Rose, PG (OUT indefinitely—hamstring)
- Ja Morant, PG (upgraded to probable for Tuesday —suspension)
- Bismack Biyombo, C (doubtful — back)
- Steven Adams, C (OUT for season —knee)
- Marcus Smart, PG (OUT indefinitely—ankle)
- Luke Kennard, SG (OUT indefinitely —knee)
- Brandon Clarke, PF (OUT indefinitely —Achilles)
OKC Thunder
This match marks the start of a five-game homestand for the Thunder who’ll play seven of their next eight at Paycom Center, however, seven of those opponents have winning records.
OKC impressed on Saturday with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander cementing the victory at the buzzer serving up only the second home loss to the Nuggets this season. SGA led with 25 points and joined five other teammates who scored in double-figures.
The big revelation from that contest was how Chet Holmgren played almost registering a triple-double (with NINE blocks). I still believe OKC needs to add a defensive-minded rebounding big man but Holmgren caused Denver fits in the paint.
Thunder Stats
The Thunder ranks seventh on offense (117.7), and sixth on defense (110.9) while they offer a plus +6.8 net differential registering fourth overall.
In terms of the Thunder’s performance against the spread, they are one of the better bets with a 16-7-1 record through 24 contests.

Free Memphis Grizzlies vs. OKC Thunder NBA Prediction:
As noted, OKC is starting a homestand but will face mostly upper echelon opponents so getting the Grizzlies the day before Morant comes back is a bit of lucky scheduling.
Of their 24 matches, 13 were against teams with winning records (6-7 record). In contrast, OKC takes care of business when facing the lower-tier squads having lost just once (10-1).
With Morant out and missing so many members of their core Memphis should add their name to that Thunder list but I like them to keep the score closer than the 10-point spread.
