NBA Playoffs Free Picks – Thunder vs Grizzlies Game 4
If the Oklahoma City Thunder wants to get this series back in order they need to beat the Memphis Grizzlies in game four of the series, this Saturday at 9:30 PM ET at the FedEx Forum, in Memphis, Tennessee.
OKC hasn’t looked good in the series so far; they are 1-2 down and has lost the last two in a row. Plus, their offense seems to be a two man show where Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant take all the shots.
“I just didn’t make shots,” Durant said Friday after practice. “That’s the name of the game. But I liked the way I cut, I liked the way I was aggressive. But I have to do a better job of maybe passing the ball a little bit more and also making shots. I’ve got to stay confident in myself.”
Beating the Grizzlies as this stage in the season is a complicated task; Memphis has won 15 games in a row at home, including game three of the series where they covered the spread 2.5 points home dog.
“We know they’re not going to go away,” Grizzlies Mike Conley said. “They’re going to fight and do whatever they can to win the series.”
The NBA lines have the Thunder as 3 point favorites this time, and the game total was set at 189 points.
Memphis is 8-3-1 ATS in its last 12 games when playing Oklahoma City. Take the points and the Grizzlies.
