Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City remain in Memphis with the opportunity to complete a series sweep of the Grizzlies on Saturday.

The Thunder took full advantage of hosting the first two games of this series, as they opened up a 2-0 lead thanks to a couple of blowout wins.

They opened their postseason campaign with a 131-80 demolition of the Grizzlies, and backed that up in Game 2 as they ran out 118-99.

Oklahoma City then moved to within one game of the conference semi-finals, and a series sweep, with a 114-108 victory in Memphis on Thursday.

The Thunder claimed their place in the playoffs by compiling a 68-14 record to finish atop the Western Conference standings.

Memphis Grizzlies Form

Memphis go into Game 4 of this series knowing that one more defeat will bring an end to their season.

The Grizzlies dug themselves into an early hole in this series as they suffered back-to-back blowout defeats at Oklahoma City.

They opened the postseason with a 131-80 loss to the Thunder, and that was followed by a 118-99 defeat in Game 2.

That left Memphis desperately needing a win when they returned home earlier this week, but instead they find themselves 3-0 down in the series following a 114-108 defeat.

Memphis booked their place in the playoffs by going 48-34 in the regular season and successfully negotiating the Play-In Tournament.

Verdict

Oklahoma City continue to dominate Memphis, with the win streak now standing at 12 games.

The Thunder have been double digit favorites in six of those meetings and have covered five times, so despite the big number we are sticking with the visitors in this one.
