💰 Best Thunder vs. Grizzlies prop bet: Jalen Williams Over 24.5 points (-103) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Williams should score 25 or more points, with the Thunder dealing with multiple key injuries. Not only is their leading scorer, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), out, but Chet Holmgren (shins) and Isaiah Hartenstein (soleus) will also sit.
In their first meeting this season on Dec. 22, Williams scored 24 points on 10-of-20 shooting from the field - and that was with Gilgeous-Alexander in the lineup taking 20 field-goal attempts. Without Gilgeous-Alexander this time around, it's reasonable to assume that Williams will score at least one more point than he did on Dec. 22.

Jaren Jackson Jr. Over 20.5 points (-107) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jackson scored just 19 points in a 117-98 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, but he attempted a team-high 19 shots, which is a good sign for bettors taking his Over on points. Additionally, Jackson played only 29 minutes in that outing, as the Suns were leading by 21 points when he subbed out with 8:19 remaining.
The Grizzlies forward has led the team in field-goal attempts in back-to-back games, and with Ja Morant (calf) out again tonight - and reportedly being shopped in trade talks - Jackson will likely be the team’s No. 1 offensive option once more.
Ajay Mitchell Over 1.5 three-pointers made (-121) ⭐⭐⭐
Mitchell will likely be the Thunder’s No. 2 offensive option tonight, as the best sports betting sites have listed him with the second-highest points total for Oklahoma City, behind Williams.
While we could take Mitchell Over 17.5 points (-130) at BetMGM, he has scored 17 or fewer in 18 straight games. However, he has been more productive from beyond the arc. Mitchell made two 3-pointers in each of his last two games and attempted seven shots from deep in a win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. If he attempts six or more 3-pointers tonight, this bet will likely cash.
