The Memphis Grizzlies welcomes the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder in Thursday’s Game 3, looking to avoid a 0-3 hole in their Western Conference first-round series at FedEx Forum.
Outmatched and outclassed by the Thunder in the first two games of the series, the Grizzlies will try to turn things around on their home floor starting on Thursday. Memphis, who finished the regular-season second to the Cleveland Cavaliers in points per game (121.7 ppg), failed to score more than 100 points in both Game 1 and 2 as the Thunder’s stifling defense put the clamps on their stars and destroyed almost all their offensive options.
The Thunder, meanwhile, have shown to everybody why they are the favorites to come out of the West this year by displaying ruthless dominance on the No.8 seed team. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has had pedestrian stats in first two games, but Oklahoma City still flourished offensively because of their depth.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
Forecast: The Thunder keep rolling with another 20+ point win to take a commanding 3-0 lead.
I am bold enough to say the Grizzlies stand no chance against the rolling Thunder. You saw what happened in Game 1 and 2. The Thunder decimated the Grizzlies on both ends of the floor, and Memphis' stars were nowhere to be found. What is scary is that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t have to score 30+ points in both games to get the Thunder a win. He has had help from everywhere, especially Chet Holmgreen and Jaylen Williams, who have been instrumental to the Thunder’s rise to contention. I expect these same three players to deal the most damage again in Game 3. Our betting prediction for the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Memphis Grizzlies: The Thunder will cover -8.5 points.
