Result:
LOSS

Oklahoma City scored 104 points in Game Six to get the series to Game Seven at home vs. the tough-minded Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis will have to play Game Seven without Zach Randolph, who will be suspended. That will hurt an already challenged Memphis offense as Randolph's 18.2 points per game and 8.8 rebounds per game in this series will be sorely missed. That should mean a team that plays slow, and in the halfcourt will take it down a notch trying to shorten the game. Oklahoma City has seen their top two players, Westbrook and Durant, struggle in this series. And although they have combined to deliver 54.6 points per game, they have needed too many shots to get there. Combined, they are under 40% for the series, and under 25% from deep. Memphis is 20-9 to the UNDER in their last 29 on the road, and 8-2 to the UNDER in their last 10 vs. a team over .600. An added emphasis on defense, the loss of their leading scorer, and caging the Thunder dynamic duo all spells UNDER in this one.
