Oklahoma City at Memphis

Oklahoma City's defense was third during the regular season in points allowed and No. 1 in field goal shooting allowed. That defense was great in the first two games, holding Memphis to 80 and 99 points. They also allowed 52 and 36 first-half points. Oklahoma City's 'D' shut down Memphis in the last game, forcing 24 turnovers, including 14 in the first half. Memphis will have to lean on its defense on its home court to try and get back into this series. Look for a slower tempo, defensive first half. Take Oklahoma City/Memphis UNDER the first-half total.
