Memphis Grizzlies at Oklahoma City Thunder
December 18th, 2019

Memphis Grizzlies at Oklahoma City Thunder ATS Pick & Preview 12/18/19

Mike McDermott Mike McDermott

The Oklahoma City Thunder (12-14) challenge the Memphis Grizzlies (10-17) at Chesapeake Energy Arena. The game can be seen on Fox Sports – Southeast at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.

Oklahoma City is a 6.5-point favorite on the opening line, while the game’s Over/Under (O/U) opened at 217.5 points.

Memphis Grizzlies at Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Prediction

The Grizzlies will be hoping for a similar outcome after beating the Miami Heat in their last matchup, 118-111, as 3-point underdogs. The gameโ€™s combined points (229) finished over the O/U total of 217.5. Memphis won the rebounding battle. The Grizzlies had more offensive rebounds (16 vs. seven), defensive rebounds (29 vs. 28) and total rebounds (45 vs. 35). Memphis received a boost from Jonas Valanciunas, who led the team in scoring with 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting.

The last time the Thunder were in action, they won a close one over the Chicago Bulls, 109-106, but failed to cover as 5-point favorites. The total points for the game (215) were over the projected point total of 208. The Thunder made 23 of their 28 free throws (82.1 percent) and had an offensive rebounding percentage of 25.7 (above their season average of 18.1). Chris Paul was Oklahoma City’s leading scorer with 30 points on 9-for-12 shooting from the field.

After the Thunder won two out of three games against the Grizzlies last season, these teams will clash for the first time this year. In the most recent game, Memphis won 115-103. The Grizzlies knocked down 24 of their 31 free throws (77.4 percent) and had a much better offensive rebounding percentage (31.0 vs. 21.4).

Memphis heads into the game with records of 10-17 straight up (SU) and 12-15 against the spread (ATS). Games including the Grizzlies have finished under the O/U total 51.9 percent of the time.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma City is 12-14 SU and 15-10-1 ATS. Vegas is known to set the total high when the Thunder are involved, as 57.7 percent of their games have ended under the O/U total.

Both teams have had a player take their game to the next level over their last five games. Jaren Jackson Jr. (25 points,1.6 blocks) has been fantastic for the Grizzlies while Paul (18 points,7.6 assists,2.0 steals) has contributed greatly to the Thunder.

The physical Oklahoma City offense could be getting to the charity stripe a lot in this battle. The Thunder currently rank third in the NBA with a free throw attempt (FTA) rate of 0.235, while Memphis ranks 28th in FTA rate allowed (0.234).
