The Thunder reigned as the first seed in the West, while the Grizzlies earned the 8th seed during the play-in tournament. Will the underdog Grizzlies stand any chance against the relentless Thunder? Read through the preview, total predictions, and player props here.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Watch Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies<\/strong><\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Time<\/strong>: 12:00 PM (CT)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Paycom Center (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Where to watch<\/strong>: This game can be viewed on the NBA League Pass.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies Match Preview&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Teams with contrasting journeys<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder: <\/strong>The Thunder finished with the fifth-best record in the league&rsquo;s history. They didn&rsquo;t lose more than two games in a row throughout the season, and that too only on a couple of instances. They had a phenomenal 36-12 record against teams with +.500 records while finishing with a superb 32-8 away from home record. <\/p><p>The Thunder had a +\/- rating of 12.8, second best in the NBA history. They are marching in the postseason as the favorites to win the West at least.<\/p><p><strong>Memphis Grizzlies: <\/strong>The Grizzlies had an underwhelming second half of the season. They had a strong 35-16 record by the first week of February, and were in contention to nab at least the second seed. However, things went downhill fast. <\/p><p>They finished with an abysmal 13-18 spell and fell to the eighth seed. The Grizzlies then lost the seventh seed play-in match against the Golden State Warriors. But used the reprieve to fend off the short-handed Dallas Mavericks. Not a grand entry to the playoffs, eh?<\/p><p><strong>Match-ups: The Thunder has depth galore, Grizzlies need a boost<\/strong><\/p><p>The marquee match-up is between the Thunder&rsquo;s PG and MVP frontrunner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Grizzlies&rsquo; ace Ja Morant. SGA is the favorite to win this match-up by a commanding margin. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have a slight size disadvantage with the guard duo of 6&rsquo;1&rdquo; Scotty Pippen Jr. and 6&rsquo;5&rdquo; Desmond Bane going up against 6&rsquo;4&rdquo; Luguentz Dort and 6&rsquo;5&rdquo; Jalen Williams. <\/p><p>Offensively, Bane and Pippen Jr can go toe-to-toe, but they can have huge defensive troubles. The frontline match-up is interesting. Grizzlies&rsquo; Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Edey vs Thunder&rsquo;s Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. It can be a decisive one too. Jackson Jr. is a better scorer than Holmgren, while Edey is a marginally better rebounder than Hartenstein. <\/p><p>But as a duo, the Thunder&rsquo;s PF and C can be a handful to deal with on defense. At any rate, Thunder&rsquo;s bench has many dependable characters like Aaron Wiggins, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, and Jaylin Williams. Same can&rsquo;t be said about the Memphis bench outside of Santi Aldama.<\/p><p><strong>Thunder Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG:<\/strong> Shai GIlgeous-Alexander | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Luguentz Dort |<strong> SF: <\/strong>Jalen Williams | <strong>PF: <\/strong>Chet Holmgren | <strong>C: <\/strong>Isaiah Hartenstein<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players<\/strong>: <strong>SG<\/strong>: Aaron Wiggins, <strong>SF<\/strong>: Jaylin Williams, <strong>SG<\/strong>: Casson Wallace, <strong>PG: <\/strong>Alex Caruso.<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates:<\/strong> Nothing significant to report<\/p><p><strong>Grizzlies Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG: <\/strong>Scotty Pippen Jr. | <strong>PG: <\/strong>Ja Morant | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Desmond Bane | <strong>PF<\/strong>: Jaren Jackson Jr. | <strong>C: <\/strong>Zach Edey<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players<\/strong>: <strong>PF:<\/strong> Santi Aldama, <strong>SG<\/strong>: John Konchar<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates<\/strong>: Jaylen Wells is OUT for the playoffs.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies Total Over\/Under Prediction<\/strong><\/h2><p>The Golden State Warriors exposed the Memphis Grizzlies&rsquo; defense in the play-in tournament (121 points). This has been the story of the Memphis season. They do have the tools to score in a similar range, but the Thunder boasts one of the best defenses in the league. They regularly limit even high-scoring teams under 110, and there can be similar returns here, too. Meanwhile, they are likely to cross the 120 mark.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder: Points: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>Over 121.5 for +110 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Total: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>Over 226.5 for -110 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies Player Props Predictions- Projected Top Bets &amp; Odds&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to score over 32.5 points: <\/strong>SGA led the league with 32.7 points per game, upping the ante against the Grizzlies. He put up 36.25 PPG against them, and I expect him to replicate such numbers.<\/p><p><strong>Ja Morant to be held under 21.5 points: <\/strong>Morant scored 22 points in each play-in tournament game. He is dealing with a serious right ankle injury, limiting his output.  Thus, I believe he will be contained below 20 here.<\/p><p><strong>Chet Holmgren to score over 17.5 points: <\/strong>The Thunder big man finished with 15 PPG this season. He scored just 4 points in his only battle against Memphis this season, but I believe he will be in the 18-21 range here.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies Match Prediction&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2><p>The Thunder enters as the overwhelming favorites here. Meanwhile, Memphis is in further trouble due to Morant&rsquo;s injury troubles. Their defense has too many holes, and the Thunder knows how to make them pay for it. Thus, it won&rsquo;t be a surprise if they end up with a 12+ points win here. This may set the template for the rest of the series as OKC will be expected to sweep.&nbsp;<\/p><p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-fd2037f76dceb7c71e2deb22d4c00924\"><strong>Safe Spread Pick: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>&nbsp;Grizzlies -12.5 for -110 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Photo Credit<\/strong>:&nbsp;Petre Thomas-Imagn Images<\/p><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-global mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, 04\/20, the Oklahoma City Thunder (68-14) will host the Memphis Grizzlies (48-34) in Game 1 of the First Round of the NBA Playoffs.

I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D\u2019Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/shubham-singh-498421175\/"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/shubham-singh\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41688"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41688"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41688\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41693,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41688\/revisions\/41693"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
