The Oklahoma City Thunder head to the FedExForum for a showdown with the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.
The Thunder snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a big win over the East’s 2nd seeded Toronto Raptors. The win kept the Thunder in pace with the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Clippers for the 5th to 7th places in the Western Conference.
OKC trails the Portland Trail Blazers by 2.5 games for the 4th seed in the West and the Houston Rockets by three games for the 3rd seed.

The Grizzlies’ four-game home winning streak was snapped by the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night as the Wolves prevailed 112-99. The loss was the second straight overall for Memphis and their fourth defeat in their last five games. The Grizzlies are already out of the playoffs but they’ve said that they will use their remaining schedule to build the chemistry of their overhauled team.
Who Wins?
The Thunder are 4-6 SU in their last 10 games played and Oklahoma City is 3-3 SU in their last six road games. The Grizzlies are 5-5 SU in their last 10 games played and Memphis is 4-1 SU in their last five games at home. Head to head, the Thunder are 9-1 SU in their last 10 games played against the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies actually have a better Last 10 games record than the Thunder but we know that the Oklahoma City is coming off a huge win over the Raptors in their last game. Memphis usually has trouble containing Russell Westbrook in the past and I don’t see that changing here. I’m picking the Oklahoma City Thunder to beat the Memphis Grizzlies on 3/25/19.

Odds from betonline.ag as of 3/25/19
Oklahoma City is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games when playing on two-days rest but the Thunder are only 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games against their Western Conference rivals and 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. Memphis is 5-1 ATS in their last six games when playing on one-day rest, 4-1 ATS in their last five games and the home team is 13-5 ATS in their last 18 head to head meetings. Memphis has played well against the spread while Oklahoma has been hit and miss lately. However, the favorite is 12-4 ATS in the last 16 meetings and the Thunder are coming off a win over Toronto. Prediction: Thunder -6
The under is 5-4-1 in the Thunder’s last 10 games played. The total has gone under in 22 out of the 38 road games played by Oklahoma City this season.

Odds from betonline.ag as of 3/25/19
The under is 3-0-1 in OKC’s last four road games, 3-0-1 in their last four road games against an opponent with a winning road record and 6-1 in their last seven games after an ATS win. Memphis has also seen the total go under in 12 out of their last 14 games played on a Monday, 19-7-1 in their last 27 games when playing on one day rest. Memphis’ offensive woes are just as well known as their elite defense so those shouldn’t help here. Prediction: Under 219.5
