Memphis at Oklahoma City

The best news for the Oklahoma City Thunder is that the injury report shows no one will be missing this game. Last year Russell Westbrook went down, and took with him their best chance of capturing their first NBA title since moving from Seattle. The Thunder will be a focused team, and a focused elite team. Memphis clinched the #7 seed on the last day of the regular season, which has allowed them to miss San Antonio, but be careful what you wish for, as Oklahoma City feels that this is their best chance yet to win it all. Memphis disposed of Oklahoma City in five games last year in the second round, but things will be different as that will just fuel the fire already burning in the Thunder. Oklahoma City won three of the four meetings this season, losing just one in Memphis by 3 points, but winning the other three by a combined 36 points. Memphis has not been strong on the road down the stretch where they are 1-8 ATS in their last nine vs. a team with a winning home record. The Thunder will use revenge, the home court, and superior talent to pave the way to a convincing game one win. Play on Oklahoma City.
