The Memphis Grizzlies will be shorthanded tonight without guards De’Anthony Melton (shoulder)and Desmond Bane (personal). Memphis hosts Oklahoma City as they look to bounce back from a 144-113 drubbing at the New Orleans Pelicans’ hands last night. The Thunder could get a boost with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander expected to return after a four-game absence due to injury.
Bettors are already siding with the visiting team as they’ve been bet down a half-point as 7.5 point underdogs.
While Melton and Bane are both role players for Memphis, each averages 10 points per game. The Grizzlies will likely need more production out of their starting backcourt of Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks.
