Prediction Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder

The Grizzlies are still missing a host of players, including Ja Morant, Brandon Clarke, Jordan Goodwin and Derrick Rose, while the Thunder don’t have a single player listed on the injury report. The Grizzlies are so decimated by injuries that it’s not even clear who will be in the starting lineup, so it’s no surprise that they have struggled so much, while the Thunder are fully healthy and in season. best shape yet. Sure, the Thunder will win this one and win it comfortably, especially at home where they’ve been so solid all season, but this just seems like too much of a burden. Give me the Thunder to get the win, but I think the pesky Grizzlies hang around long enough to get the backdoor coverage.
