The Oklahoma City Thunder are 3-1 in their last four games, including three on the road. The Thunder wrapped up their road trip to Memphis, and in their final game against Washington, the Thunder were led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who dropped 42 points, and Ludotz had 16. Josh Giddy had 11 points off the bench, and Jalen Williams added 10 points.

 

 

The Thunder averaged 116.6 points per game, sixth in the NBA, but allowed 116.5 points per game, good for 25th. Their offensive rating is 112, which ranks 18th, while their defensive rating is also 112, which ranks 14th. They’re shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from the 3-point range.

 

 

Oklahoma City listed Chet Holmgren and Darius Blazley as absent players, while Tre Mann was a day-to-day player.

 

 

Memphis has lost two games in a row, and the game against New Orleans was poor in the second half, which is why they lost. The Grizzlies led 54-42 but were led by Ja Morant, who scored 36 points. Brandon Clark came off the bench with a double-double of 15 points and 13 rebounds. Dillon Brooks scored 19 points, becoming one of only three Memphis players to reach double figures.

 

 

The Grizzlies were led by Ja Morant, who averaged 29.3 points per game, and Desmond Bane, who averaged 24.7 points per game. Meanwhile, Brooks is averaging 15.8 points per game, and Tyus Jones is averaging 10.4 points per game. They’re shooting 46.3 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from the 3-point range. Memphis has an offense of 113.5 PPG as they average 113.5 PPG while they allow 113.4 PPG.

 

 

Memphis will be without Bane, Danny Green, and Zielle Williams.

 

 

Oklahoma City has been a surprising team, while Memphis has struggled to close the gap and has struggled late. The Grizzlies’ offense has been different since Desmond Bane left, as the team can now better defend Ja Morant with fewer of the Grizzlies’ weapons. Meanwhile, OKC is led by SGA, who has played well and could help take on Morant. The Thunder offense is too much for the Grizzlies.
