Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder: Current situation
Memphis is currently on a 3-game losing streak, they’ve won just 3 of 10 games and all of a sudden they are no longer the number 2 seed. In the competitive Western Conference even a minor losing streak can see a team drop a couple of places in the standings, so there is definitely a level of concern present among the Grizzlies fanbase. Getting a result against the top team in the Conference won’t be easy, especially since the Grizzlies have not covered the spread in 8 straight games.
With 23 wins in 30 away games this season the Thunder have been one of the most consistent road teams in the NBA, so it’s not really surprising they have an 11 game lead atop of the Western Conference. Make no mistake about it though, this team is not getting complacent and resting any players despite having all but wrapped up the number 1 seed. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is pretty much still in the running for MVP, so don’t expect him to take nights off even against lesser opponents.
Memphis Grizzlies Stats & Form
A total of 262 points were scored in the Grizzlies’ most recent game, which was a home loss to the Atlanta Hawks 132-130. Desmond Bane led the way with 35 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, however defensively the Grizzlies allowed Atlanta to shoot 57% from the field and it’s hard to win games when there’s no effort on that end of the floor. There were some positives to take away from the loss though, Memphis grabbed a total of 17 offensive rebounds in the loss.
Oklahoma City Thunder Stats & Form
Similarly to the Grizzlies, OKC was also involved in a massive scoring game as they took down the Houston Rockets 137-128 on Monday. SGA had one of his best scoring games of the year dropping 51 in the win, shooting an efficient 18-for-30 from the field, including 5 threes made. It was OKC’s 13th win in 15 games, they’ve covered the spread in 17 of 30 road games this season.
Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder: Head-to-Head

Memphis last won a regular season series back in the 2021-22 NBA season, they now trail the Thunder 72-35 in the all time regular season win total.

Betting tip and prediction: Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder (05.03.2025)
A 51-point explosion by SGA further solidified his case for MVP honors as the Thunder took down the Rockets on Monday night. It was their 4th game in a row of at least 129 points scored, they have consistently put up big numbers on offense and on Wednesday they’ll need another heroic performance on that end to take care of the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizz are a team mostly relying on outscoring opponents to win games, not really caring about what happens on the defensive end. With that type of approach by the home team here, we might be looking into a very high scoring game, even for Grizzlies standards. Backing the over has been a profitable bet in 4 of 5 Memphis games, for the season they are 38-23 on the O/U. Oklahoma City’s prolific offense has resulted in the over cashing in 7 straight games they’ve played in, including 5 in a row on the road and in 5 straight vs Western Conference opponents. With Chet Holmgren coming back and ramping up his production post injury, the Thunder are only getting better offensively which is the scary part for the rest of the NBA. The last 3 meetings between these sides have averaged 234.3 points per game and cashed on the over twice. Pace wise the home team ranks number one in the NBA averaging 104.2 possessions per game, while the Thunder are just 5 spots behind them averaging 100.7 per game. Everything is pointing to a high scoring affair here, so let’s back the points.
