🎲 Wednesday’s NBA Betting Odds + Picks: Thunder vs. Grizzlies Spread & Total

The Oklahoma City Thunder will head to Memphis to play the Grizzlies on the wrong end of a back-to-back. Fortunately for the Thunder, Memphis is also on a back-to-back, having just suffered a 31-point loss to the Pelicans. The Thunder are fresh off a loss themselves, although they kept things close, and it’s hard to blame them given how short-handed they are. If you’re looking for an edge when it comes to NBA betting picks on this game, I’ll break down the current state of the market.

Thunder vs. Grizzlies NBA Betting Against the Spread Picks + Odds Shopping

Isaiah Sirois uses Awesemo's OddsShopper tool to identify the best NBA betting picks and odds for tonight's game between the Thunder and Grizzlies.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are posted as 6.5-to-7-point underdogs tonight. Although the trends against the spread don’t point to much value, the Grizzlies have been better as underdogs than as favorites, and they sport a 5-5 ATS record when favored. If you prefer the Thunder here, head over to FanDuel Sportsbook to get them +7 at near-even odds. That said, if you think they can keep this within 6.5 points, you might be better off at PointsBet, as their spread comes with odds of -105. If you prefer the Grizzlies, SugarHouse, BetMGM, DraftKings Sportsbook and William Hill all have them as 6.5-point favorites at -110. You can keep track of any changes as tip-off approaches directly through OddsShopper.

Thunder vs. Grizzlies NBA Betting Over/Under Picks + Odds Shopping

Isaiah Sirois uses Awesemo's OddsShopper tool to identify the best NBA betting picks and odds for tonight's game between the Thunder and Grizzlies.

The trends point to some value on the over tonight, and if you’re interested in playing that line, you can head to BetMGM for the lowest total. I wouldn’t recommend adding points for more juice, either, as you won’t get enough value in doing so. If you expect a low-scoring game, head over to FanDuel Sportsbook for the lowest total. If you’re comfortable burning 1.5 points, PointsBet’s line (226) is at +100 right now. However, you should expect these lines to move, so make sure to double-check OddsShopper to confirm that you’re getting the best deal.
