Despite their recent struggles, Memphis remains a top-six offensive team, averaging 123.3 points per game. Desmond Bane has been a bright spot, recently recording a triple-double with 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Pick: Thunder -9.0

widget-odds-nba-ats-4948-OKC-MEM

The Thunder are in excellent form, with a strong defensive presence and an MVP-caliber performance from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Memphis, on the other hand, is dealing with injuries to key players and has struggled defensively, allowing over 130 points in three of their last five games. OKC's dominance in recent head-to-head matchups and their ability to force turnovers make them the clear choice to cover the spread at -9.0.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 32.5 Points

Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 32.6 points per game this season and recently scored 51 points against the Rockets. With Memphis missing key defensive players, he is poised for another big game.

Desmond Bane Over 5.5 Assists

Bane has stepped up as a playmaker in the absence of Ja Morant, averaging 5.5 assists per game. He recorded 10 assists in his last outing and will likely continue to facilitate the offense.

Jalen Williams Over 5.5 Rebounds
