After a pair of blowout losses to open the series, Memphis did well enough to keep things close as +9.5 underdogs in their six-point, Game 3 loss on Thursday. Memphis is now looking to extend the series against the best team in the NBA this season and will have to do so without their best player in the lineup. They lost the first two games of the series by an average of 35 points with Morant in the lineup. His absence is a deathblow to Memphis. Oklahoma City, to this point, has beaten the Grizzlies in every aspect of the game. Their ability to come back, on the road, in Game 3, should stand as a warning to anyone who has to face this team moving forward. There is zero reason to pick against the Thunder right now. Over their last ten meetings with the Grizzlies, Oklahoma City is 10-0 SU and 8-2 ATS. Take the Thunder to cover.
