The Oklahoma City Thunder seeks a return to winning ways in the NBA at home the Memphis Grizzlies. Sitting top of the Western Conference, the Thunder are 12.0 games above the Grizzlies down in ninth. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

OKC are going through a rare dip in form as they have lost twice in their last three games. Before this slump, Mike Daigneault’s defending champions had not lost since the first week of November and were on a 16-game streak.

A loss in the semi-finals of the NBA Cup by the Spurs snapped that run, and they were again defeated last time out after a 122-101 win over the Clippers. Playing away to the Timberwolves, the Thunder, who have the best record in the entire NBA, were outscored 112-107.

The Grizzlies are also coming off a loss. Tuomas Lisalo’s men, who have been in good form recently, winning seven of their last 10 games, were defeated at home by the Wizards.

Memphis, which missed a number of its stars against Washington, fell 130-122. It was their 15th loss of the campaign and saw them drop to two games below .500.

The Grizzlies have struggled against the Thunder and haven’t won any of the last 14 meetings. Ja Morant missed the loss to the Wizards and is questionable for this trip with an ankle issue.
