Tuesday, April 22nd, the Memphis Grizzlies and OKC Thunder play Game 2 of their first-round series, with the Thunder up 1-0 after a blistering history-making effort in Game 1.
OKC swept the four-game regular season series and own a current ten game win (regular season and playoffs) streak versus the Grizzlies.
Season Series
Last season, the squads played three times, with OKC sweeping the series, while the Thunder also holds the all-time record, having bested the Grizzlies in 74 of their 109 matches.
This is the fourth time these clubs are meeting in the postseason, with the Thunder having won two of the three prior series.
Memphis Grizzlies
The last time the Grizzlies beat a Western Conference Playoff team was January 30th (Rockets), but no one expected what happened in Game 1.
Sure, popular opinion was the Thunder would win, but not by 51 points! Ja Morant and Marvin Bagley were the top Grizzlies scorers with 17.
As for the other starters, none broke double digits as Jaren Jackson (4), Zach Edey (4), Scotty Pippen Jr. (2) and Desmond Bane (9) all struggled. Each of them had more turnovers than made field goals!

Free NBA Prediction:
To be fair to the Grizzlies, they were coming off the play-in game and had little time to prepare, while the Thunder were sitting, waiting.
That said, in their three meetings this season, the Thunder’s average margin of victory over the Grizzlies was 17 points.
Memphis will arrive wanting to get immediate revenge, but they simply don’t have the depth to compete against the Thunder. Given Morant and Jackson will be dialed in, I’ll tentatively take the points, but OKC for the win.
