The Thunder inched closer to finishing off the eighth-seeded Grizzlies with a 99-72 victory on Wednesday night. Kevin Durant scored 19 points while Nick Collison grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds in the victory.
For the Grizzlies, only Marc Gasol got into double-digit points with 15, while Zach Randolph shot just 3-for-9 from the floor to finish with nine points. He did finish with a team-high seven rebounds but overall, it was a pretty lackluster effort by Memphis, who is now one loss away from watching its season wrap up.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Grizzlies 1.5-point favorites over the Thunder in Game 6 tonight. The over/under total for tonight’s 9:00PM ET tip off is 195.5 points.
NBA Playoff Odds: I think the Grizzlies’ impressive run will come to an end tonight. They played inspired ball against the Spurs and for most of this Oklahoma City series, but they looked flat on Wednesday. It’s tough to win when only one of your scoring threats hits double-digits in points. The NBA playoffs are a serious grind and if teams don’t have the big bodies to bang down low, they’re eventually going to tire out. I think Memphis is tiring out. According to latest NBA trends, the Thunder are 5-1-1 against the spread in their last seven road games and 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games as an underdog. Take Oklahoma City and the points.
