Before falling to Boston by four points on Monday, they defeated Toronto and New York in back-to-back games.

Gilgeous-Alexander made nine out of his ten field goal tries in the final two quarters to score 30 points in the second half. He added to what was already an MVP-caliber start to the season by matching his career-high with 42 total points.

Gilgeous-Alexander is leading the team in assists virtually every night while producing 31.5 points on 47.8% shooting.

Aleksej Pokusevski and Luguentz Dort, two forwards who were dependable for the Thunder, scored a combined 24 points in the victory over Washington.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies Predictions 11/18/2022

This year, Memphis got out to a great start, sweeping nine of their first 13 games. This week, the Grizzlies were unable to keep up that pace, losing on the road to Washington and New Orleans.

As they will host Sacramento and New Orleans the following week, they will now play three of their following four games at home.

Desmond Bane, a crucial player for Memphis producing 24.7 points and shooting 45.1% from outside the arc before sustaining a Grade 2 toe sprain against Minnesota last Friday, is out with the injury.

Bane is anticipated to be out of commission for two to three weeks. When he was on the field, the Grizzlies averaged 117.5 points per game, but in their three games without him, that average plummeted to 99.7.

Ja Morant, a great guard who is averaging 29.3 points, 6.8 assists, and 6.2 rebounds per game, has to contribute even more.

In the 113-102 defeat against New Orleans on Tuesday, Morant gave his everything and collected 36 points. In that game, the Grizzlies made just 9 out of 35 attempts from beyond the arc.

The Memphis Grizzlies are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 matches.
The total went UNDER in 5 of the Grizzlies’ previous 6 matches.
The total went OVER in 5 of Memphis’ last 6 matches against Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies. The NBA pick for this game is the Oklahoma City Thunder. On Friday night, the question is rather straightforward: How much of Bane’s absence was an accident?

Even if they weren’t a very lucrative club to back before he got hurt, the Grizzlies appear like an entirely different squad without him on the field.

In their previous 10 m

atches, they only covered the spread three times, once of which came against teams from the Western Conference. The Thunder is headed by one of the league’s most underrated talents and covered in four of their previous five matches.

Gilgeous-Alexander is putting up huge numbers while taking on a squad that did not look great without Bane on the floor. The Oklahoma City Thunder will win to a predicted score of 120-115.
