Grizzlies vs. Thunder Predictions & Best Bets for Game 4
The Grizzlies caught a bad break when Ja Morant suffered a hip injury after taking a hard fall in Game 3, missing the second half of the action.
His status for Game 4 is questionable at best, but at this point, the Grizzlies’ season is likely over, barring an improbable series comeback.
OKC’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had his best game of the series with 31 points and eight assists, and Chet Holmgren came alive in the second half, scoring 23 of his 24 points to close out the game.
I’m backing Oklahoma City to cover the spread and bring the brooms out in Game 4, as Memphis’ momentum was all but killed in the second half of Game 3.
The Thunder (+170) are the favourites to win it all this season, given SGA’s tremendous scoring ability and OKC’s suffocating defence.
