After a strong performance last night in Dallas even with losing their star early in the game, the Thunder return to the site of their first road win of the year to take on the Memphis Grizzlies. Durant is not expected to play tonight and may also miss Monday's game at home against the Mavericks.
Both teams are struggling coming into tonight's matchup as the Grizzlies have lost 6 straight while OKC has lost 7. A win tonight would put the Thunder is good position to achieve their first three game win streak of the season as they have a rematch of last night's affair next on Monday and follow that up with a game against the weak Wizards on Wednesday. Both of those games will be at home.
Green and Westbrook will be looked upon to provide the offensive spark as they did last night, but hopefully we can get better than an 11 for 32 performance out of Russell. Granted he made the big 3 when the situation called for it to get the game into overtime, but the Thunder's poor 40.6% shooting from the field is why they didn't have the game put away in the first place.
