| Shai Gilgeous-Alexander O 32.5 points | -102 | – |
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the leading OKC Thunder, entered the current season on the back of NBA MVP, NBA Finals MVP, and scoring champion title. In ten games he has played for the Thunder, SGA has been averaging 33.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game. He has been shooting 52.3% from the field and 35.1% from the three-point range. In the previous game against the Sacramento Kings, he dropped 30 points, on 60.0% shooting from the field and 33.3% shooting from the three-point range.
Considering the defensive rating of the Grizzlies, which has placed them 20th in the league, SGA scoring over 33 points looks like a safe bet.
The Memphis Grizzlies ended the previous season in the first round of the playoffs, with a 0-4 loss to the Thunder. In the offseason, they underwent multiple changes and acquired names such as Kenavious Caldwell-Pope, Ty Jerome, and Jock Landale. The Grizzlies had high hopes in the beginning of the season as they kicked off the campaign with a win over the New Orleans Pelicans. However, Memphis has struggled with consistency and have lost six of their last ten games.
They have one of the lowest offensive ratings in the league (111.5 ), and are 20th in terms of defensive ratings (115.5). In addition to it, they have as many as five players listed on the injury report.
The Thunder, on the other hand, had a historic campaign in the previous season, where they won their first NBA championship since moving to Oklahoma City. They continued the same momentum in the ongoing season as well and were on an eight-game winning streak, before slumping to the first defeat of the season, against the New Orleans Pelicans. However, it didn’t take much time for them to bounce back. They are leading the league with nine wins and one defeat, and will aim to continue their winning prowess.
Statistically, the Thunder are sixth in terms of offensive rating (118.3) and seeded on top of the standings with a defensive rating of 104.8. They are averaging 123.2 ppg, while shooting 47.5% from the field and 34.2% from the three-point range.
Considering their form, winning streak, availability of players and performance so far, the Thunder are expected to come on top in Sunday’s contest.
