The sides have asymmetrical form across the last ten games, with the Thunder winning six of ten while Memphis has lost six of their last ten games. The Thunder’s run of four straight W’s is the best current run the league; San Antonio and New Orleans (whose last loss came to the Thunder) both have three game winning streaks.
So far this season the Thunder are scoring an average of 107 points per game, with a plus/minus of 2.
