Command Analysis
Oklahoma City Thunder
USACurrent form
The Thunder qualified for the playoffs from the first place in the Western Conference. The team held the regular season in one go and continues to keep a high pace. I would like to mention the game of Shai Gilges-Alexander, who claims to be the MVP of the season.
Oklahoma started the first match of the playoff series at home against Memphis. The wards of Mark Dayno decided not to delay the fun and immediately got down to business. Thunder left no chance for the Grizzlies and once again confirmed their status as the favorite (131:80). It was noticeable that the opponent was nervous and could not cope with the thunder attack, so the result was well deserved. Oklahoma is waiting for another home match, in which the hosts will strive to repeat their success.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikola Topic will not go out on the floor due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
Oklahoma has won its last nine head-to-head games.
Approximate line-up: Holmgren - Williams, Hartenstein - Dort, Gilges-Alexander.
Memphis Grizzlies
USACurrent form
The Grizzlies have come a long way to make the playoffs. In the play-in stage, the team lost to Golden State (116:121), but used its second chance in the match against Dallas (120:106). Desmond Bain and Jaren Jackson showed their best and scored 46 points between them.
Memphis failed to start the playoffs with a victory, because they were obviously unlucky with their opponent. The wards of Tuomaso Iisalo were not ready for such pressure from Oklahoma, so they were left with nothing (80:131). It's hard to come to your senses after such a debacle, especially since the second match of the series will also be held on the road. Of course, the guests will do the work on the mistakes, but the difference in class is significant.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brandon Clark, Zion Pullin and Jaylen Wells will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
Memphis cannot win on the road for three matches.
Approximate composition: Bane-Jackson, Edie-Pippen Jr., Morant.

1.50Tip and bets
This season, Oklahoma is one of the main contenders for the championship and confirms this in every match. It is unlikely that the Thunder plans to spend a lot of effort on a series against the Grizzlies, especially since the first match showed that the Thunder are completely superior to their opponent.
Memphis looked good during the season, but now it lacks stability. The team makes too many mistakes in terms of teamwork, which needs to be worked on more. The last meeting clearly showed that the Grizzlies' defense is their weak point now. In our opinion, the hosts will deal with the opponent again without any problems.
Our prediction is that Oklahoma will win with a handicap of (-13) points in 1.74
Bet on the total
Oklahoma is unlikely to slow down after a landslide victory. The team is ready to prove itself once again in attack on the home court. Memphis has no choice but to go all-in and take the risk. We assume that the rivals will not feel sorry for each other and will break through the total.
Betting Tip - total more than 226.5 points in 1.72
Betting on statistics
Gromy is in great shape. The team has shown that the attack is their main trump card. We assume that Oklahoma will be able to defeat the opponent again, that is, to prove themselves on offense.
Prediction – Oklahoma's individual total is over 121.5 points in 1.90
