1.87Tip and bets
Oklahoma is a well—established mechanism: Shay, Holmgren, Williams — they're like an orchestra where everyone knows their part. Memphis is still floundering — Morant and Jackson are fighting, but this is not enough against the Thunder. The first two matches showed that the Grizzlies could not find an answer to the opponent's speed and attack. The bookmakers are betting on Oklahoma, and it's worth agreeing with them — Dagnolt will set up the guys, and they will fly on the floor again. Memphis will try to snap back at home, but the series seems to be heading for a quick finale. We are waiting for the confident victory of the guests, who will not give a chance.
Our betting tip is for Oklahoma to win with a head start (-8.5) points, including overtime in 1.76
Betting on an individual total
Oklahoma averaged 120.5 points in the regular season, and a little more at home — 122.6. In five of the last six matches with Memphis, they scored 120. The first match is 131, the second is 118, and they won't slow down on the road. The Grizzlies will resist, but their defense is cracking, and Thunder knows how to punish. We are waiting for Oklahoma to make its own again.
Our prediction is that Oklahoma's individual total is over 120.5 points in 2.10
The bet on the player
Shay Gilges-Alexander is the king of regular season scoring with an average of 32.7 points. In the first match he took a break (15 points), in the second he played out (27). In the third, on the road, we expect a real show from the 26-year—old Canadian - he will come out to tear the Memphis defense and gain his own, like a real leader.
Our prediction is a total over Gilges-Alexander of 32.5 points in 1.87
