Oklahoma City at Memphis

This series was going to be about the offense of Oklahoma City and the defense of Memphis. I'd have to say that through three games, the defense of Memphis has come out on top, and it is the reason they lead two games to one. The Grizzlies are actually a buzzer beater away from a chance to be up 3-0. Over the last two seasons and post seasons, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been held to less than 100 points in three straight games just one time, and we all know how that worked out. The only time that occurred was in the NBA finals a year ago vs. Miami who turned the trick on their way to a 4-1 series win and an NBA Championship. Let's not forget two years ago when Memphis played three playoff games vs. this same Oklahoma City team at Memphis, with a healthy Russell Westbrook. Memphis would have done it again if not for a triple overtime game which saw Oklahoma City score 96 in regulation. Memphis has it all working right now covering eight straight games, and teams covering seven straight or more are 24-7-1 ATS in the playoffs. The Grizzlies are tough against the best where they are 59-29-2 ATS in their last 80 vs. a team over .600. Play on Memphis.
