The odds listed were as per available information at the time of writing.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Memphis Grizzlies vs OKC Thunder preview<\/h3>\n<p>Coming into the series, almost everyone expected the Thunder to dominate as they finished the season with the best record in the league at 68-14. However, the manner in which they dismantled the Grizzlies surprised everyone. It was a proper beatdown, as OKC won 131-80 on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The 51-point win margin was the fifth largest in the history of NBA Playoffs and was the biggest Game 1 win ever.<\/p>\n<p>The Grizzlies seemed like a deer in front of headlights. Among the starters, only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/ja-morant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Ja Morant<\/a> scored in double digits with 17 points. The rest of the four starters had fewer field goals made than their combined turnovers. Even though Morant had 17 points, he shot a measly 6 of 17 from the floor.<\/p>\n<p>The Thunder combined to shoot 50.5% from the floor, including 35.4% from the 3-point line. All their starters scored in double digits. Aaron Wiggins came off the bench to lead the team in scoring with 21 points.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest concern for Memphis should be that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/shai-gilgeous-alexander\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a> didn\u2019t even have a good game and still lost by 51 points. SGA shot just 4 of 13 for 15 points.<\/p>\n<h3>Memphis Grizzlies vs OKC Thunder betting props<\/h3>\n<p>Ja Morant\u2019s points total is set at 22.5. After a lackluster showing on Sunday, bet on Morant to have a better game and score more than 22.5 points.<\/p>\n<p>Shai Gilgeous-Alexander\u2019s points total is set at 32.5. This could be another game where the Thunder dominate Memphis and they don\u2019t need to play SGA the full four quarters. Bet on the under.<\/p>\n<h3>Memphis Grizzlies vs OKC Thunder prediction and betting tips<\/h3>\n<p>The oddsmakers heavily favor the Thunder to take a 2-0 lead on Tuesday. We expect the same, as OKC should cover the spread for a win in a high-scoring game where the team total goes past 229 points.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticd.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticd.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/884327-1713611354-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Rajdeep Barman&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nRajdeep Barman is a U.S. Sports Editor at Sportskeeda and occasionally writes about basketball.
