Date/Time: Wed, Nov 14 / 8:11:00 PM ET, Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma City, OKIt’s the roar of the Grizzlies vs. the roar of the Thunder as two of this season’s most solid performers face off against each other tonight in a courtside battle that promises to offer tons of history-making moments for NBA fans.
The Oklahoma City Thunder is sitting pretty with a 5-game winning streak. But tonight, they’ll have to face the equally ferocious Memphis Grizzlies, an NBA squad that’s off to its best start in the history of the franchise.
The 5-1 Grizzlies are looking for their sixth straight win. They’ll hit the floor with a heavy heart, just one day after finding out that assistant general manager Kenny Williamson has succumbed to cancer.
Sportsbook enthusiasts had predicted that the Memphis Grizzlies toughest test of the season would be their match against the defending NBA champions Miami Heat on Sunday. But Memphis managed a stellar 104-86 victory, scoring 41 points—a season high.
Oklahoma was equally impressive over the weekend, with Russell Westbrook sinking a half-court shot—just one of his 27 points. Kevin Durant added 26 more, pushing OKC to a 106-91 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But online sports aficionados interested in dropping money on this game should pay attention to the fact that the Oklahoma City Thunder will be playing their ninth game of the month—and fifth in a week. That could lead to some tired performances on the floor.
And some fans might argue that the nonstop action on the court was starting to take its toll on OKC on Monday night as the Thunder trailed Detroit by 11 toward the end of the game. But OKC made noise when it counted most, edging out a 92-90 win.
Last season, OKC won the first three matchups against the Grizzlies before dropping a fourth game on April 2nd. Kevin Durant averaged 28.8 points over his last 21 matchups against the Grizzlies, which includes a 7-game Western Conference semifinal series in ’11.
Game Odds:
Memphis Grizzlies: +5.5-110, ML -110
Oklahoma City Thunder: -5.5-110, ML -110
Game Total: 194, o/u:-110
