The Memphis Grizzlies and the Oklahoma City Thunder will travel to FedEx Forum, Memphis, for the third game of the first-round NBA 2025 playoff series. The Thunder are dominating the series and are seeking a clean sweep against Memphis within four games.

In the first game, Aaron Wiggins’s 21 points and Jalen Williams’ 20 points fueled the Thunder to a blowout 131-80 win over Memphis to secure a 1-0 lead in the series. While the Grizzlies aimed for a comeback in the second game, their plans flopped big time and they didn’t stand a chance against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 27 points, eight rebounds, and five assists.

The Thunder, seeded on top in the West following a historic season, are looking extremely lethal. The series is turning out how it was expected to be, lopsided. However, there are still five games remaining, and the Grizzlies would still be optimistic heading into the third game. Before that, let’s go through the injury reports of both the teams and see if they have any concerns ahead of a crucial matchup.
