In the first round, NBA betting
fans thought they might be witnessing a changing of the guard, as the Oklahoma
City Thunder looked like they might be ready to be a championship team. Things
have changed quickly, though, as the Thunder are down 2-1 to the Memphis
Grizzlies. Game 4 tips off Monday. The Grizzlies continue to be an absolute terror for basketball bettors. Memphis is 7-1-1 against the spread during the postseason, including a 101-93 overtime win against Oklahoma City on Saturday. It was even more impressive considering Memphis trailed by as much as 16 points. The gritty Grizzlies got clutch contributions across the board, but nobody
was as impressive as Zach Randolph. The big man absolutely
murdered the Thunder, finishing with 21 points and 21 rebounds. Randolph is
averaging 22.1 points and 10.6 boards per game during the postseason. Great defense has also been a major factor in Memphis’ surprising run. The
Grizzlies held Oklahoma City to just 36.6 percent from the field on Saturday.
Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo were especially great
late in the game against Kevin Durant and Russell
Westbrook. Mayo had 18 points, six rebounds and four assists. Both of Oklahoma City's stars struggled in Game 5. Durant and Westbrook
combined for 45 points, but they went 17-for-46 in the process. Westbrook added
12 assists, but he also had seven turnovers. Durant went 2-for-10 in the fourth
quarter and overtime, and he had just a single free-throw attempt after
averaging 11 per outing during his first seven playoff games this year. Unfortunately, nobody besides Durant and Westbrook has really stepped up,
forcing the duo to keep taking—and missing—a ton of shots. James
Harden, who averaged nearly 16 points per game after the All-Star
break, continues to be terribly inconsistent. He’s scored 12 or less points in
six of his eight playoff games. Get all your NBA betting
