    Friday night: Grizzlies @ Thunder +7

    Can OKC win this game even with such a depleted lineup?

    National TV game. Ibaka and Jackson will have to carry them but I think they can win this game outright. Taking the points here seems like the way to go for sure.

    Let's get some discussion going on this one.

    It's best not to fade OKC at home on a Friday.

    The place will be rock'n.

    I expect OKC to play there best game of the year tomorrow.

    Granted, we're only 5 games in but even if Memphis plays their game and wins, 7 will still be a lot for them to cover.

    I have a good feeling about OKC getting their second win.

    OKC with the points looks good.

    In those playoff rematch type games, usually if both teams are at full strength the team that lost in the playoffs covers (Dallas @ Spurs, Warriors vs Clippers), and if the team that won in the playoffs is undermanned they cover (Thunder @ Clippers, Pacers @ Hawks, Pacers @ Wizards).

    For whatever that's worth.

    Memphis are hot but I'm not too afraid to fade a hot Grizzlies team like I am with the Rockets for instance...

    How about this line? Where do we see it going? I kind of want to just lock it in and be done with it but anyone think it goes back to 7.5 or even 8?

    Pinny opened at 7.5 and moved down to 7 in about 10 mins looks like. I could see it moving back up.

    I don't see this going higher than 7. If anything I could see it dropping.

    How do you figure?

    Memphis undefeated.

    OKC suiting up like 8 guys and getting blown out every game.

    OKC should bring great effort at home tomorrow. I think they'll win the game but even if they don't, Memphis isn't he kind of team that blows people away.

    Tough one okc crowd is nuts got a standing ovation at home vs denver, best crowd in the league imo so the players should go all out, But on the other hand Memphis has covered 4 straight and okc's only cover was against a weak denver who has been underachieving so far

    edit: oops they covered at clips but they are struggling too 0-5 ats, Memphis is not struggling.

    lamb and r-jax will play tomorrow as well. okc has the bigs to hang inside w/ the grizzlies but they have to run and gun to win.

    still think its a good play.

    http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/1964/jeremy-lamb

    "Jeremy Lamb (back) is expected to make his season debut on Friday, "barring any unforeseen setback.""Jeremy Lamb practiced today. It’s going good," coach Scott Brooks said on Thursday. "We’ll see how he feels tomorrow and make a decision." Lamb is much closer to 'probable' than 'questionable' according to beat writer Anthony Slater, and should have a substantial offensive role for however many minutes his conditioning allows for.

    What do you think on the total? 92-92 game would be 184. If Memphis is really a 7 point favorite 95-89 for the over 183.5. I was thinking under with the defense of Memphis (1st), poor scoring (23rd) and a depleted OKC team (27th points per game). I'm not feeling OKC, but since you guys like them I might live bet this one.

    just seeing this on memphis side.. mem's backcourt too pesky for 2nd team backcourt of okc, and ibaka might be pulled away from the paint. Seeing this as over 190+

    20 turnovers.

    3 of 11 at the free throw line.

    F*ck. At least they covered for me.

    Also, I don't think I've ever seen Scott Brooks draw up a good inbounds play, especially when he doesn't have KD or Russ to bail him out with great 1 on 1 play.

    That's the second time early in this season I have seen a crucial 5 second violation. Happened to the spurs a couple games back too. Veterans throwing the ball in as well with a TO both times.

    Would love to see OKC except for the fact I have the Grizz ML in a couple open parlays

    Shoot 45% at the free throw line and they win.

    Great call by OKC backers. I couldn't see it. I can tell there is a lot of experienced cappers on this forum. I got the under. Have a great night guys, I'm headed out.

    I hear ya, I'm just pissed because they had 20 turnovers and were 3 of 11 at the line yet only trailed by 1 point with 5 seconds left.

    I had spread and ML.
