Command Analysis

Oklahoma City Thunder

Current form
Oklahoma is now like a hurricane that sweeps away everything in its path. Seven wins in a row, and now who dares to call them a team with no chance of a title? In the last match, the Thunder left no chance for Sacramento – 121-105. As usual, Shay Gilges-Alexander shone with 32 points, eight rebounds and five assists. And where Shay is, there's his reliable partner Chet Holmgren, who scored a double-double (18 points +ten rebounds). Isaah Joe, Alex Caruso, Lugenz Dort – all this company also contributed to the landslide victory.
60 wins, 12 losses – the Thunder are not just the leaders of the West, but also the best regular season team. The playoffs are already in our pocket, but Mark Dagnault's team is not slowing down.
Disqualifications and injuries
Of course, there were problems. Jaylen Williams and Aaron Wiggins are forced to miss this match, but Oklahoma has such a deep squad that even without them they remain a formidable force.
Interesting facts for betting
Thunder and Grizzlies have averaged 217 points in their last ten head-to-head matches.
Oklahoma has won seven meetings in a row against Memphis.
Approximate line-up: Gilges-Alexander, Wallace, Dort, Caruso, Holmgren.

Memphis Grizzlies

Current form
Memphis is balancing between hope and disappointment. There have been three defeats in the last four matches, but in the last game we managed to roll out Utah – 140:103. Of course, it's worth considering that Jazz is now far from the top level.
Desmond Bayne (21 points) and Jaren Jackson (19) led the team, assisted by Zach Eadie, Jay Huff and Vince Williams– who each scored 15 points. Scotty Pippen Jr. was not far behind, scoring a double-double (16 points +ten assists). Memphis is still in fifth place in the West standings, but the density in this area is incredible.
Disqualifications and injuries
The main loss is Jah Morant. The point guard dropped out back in mid–March, and his absence is a serious blow to the Grizzlies' attacking potential.
Interesting facts for betting
In the history of the rivalry, Memphis has beaten Oklahoma 35 times, and the Thunder have taken 73 wins.
Approximate line-up: Pippen, Bain, Wells, Aldama, Jackson.

1.88Tip and bets
Oklahoma looks like a real winning machine right now. Memphis is fighting for a place in the playoffs, but it will be extremely difficult for them without Morant. In addition, the Thunder have a very powerful bench – the loss of one or two players is not so critical. Given the form of both teams, Oklahoma's victory looks the most logical.
Our prediction: Thunder wins with a handicap of (-8.5) points in 1.71
Betting on an individual total
Oklahoma's average of points scored in the season is 119.1, and at home it is 121.9. In the last three matches against the Grizzlies, they have consistently broken the 120-point mark. Everything points to another extravaganza in the attack.
Our prediction: Oklahoma's individual total is over 125.5 points in 2.03
Bet on the first half
The Thunder have won the first half in their last seven games against Memphis. The history of personal meetings speaks for itself – Grizzlies find themselves in the role of catching up from the very first minutes.
Our prediction: Oklahoma wins in the first half in 1.36
