But I&#8217;m loving Morant&#8217;s shot volume and expect him to let it fly again tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two-time all-star closed his season on a tear, averaging 29.4 points and 21.9 field-goal attempts across his last 15 games. He cleared this line 13 times and scored 20-plus points in every contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OKC is a nightmare matchup, and there&#8217;s no hiding that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Thunder allowed the second-fewest PPG to opposing point guards (22.86) and had the league&#8217;s best defensive rating (106.6) during the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Morant should get a ton of run while facing the prospect of going down 3-0 on Thursday. He only played 26 minutes in a blowout in Game 1 and had 40 minutes in Game 2, which was also a rout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 9.5-point spread also indicates this should be a closer contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Morant has taken the second-most shots per game (21.6) since March 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:112917\">Embed: #112917<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game 3 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Holmgren over 1.5 threes (-139):<\/strong> Holmgren is a do-it-all big man, and that extends to his 3-point shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 7-foot-1 power forward is 6-for-12 from deep this series, canning three 3s in each game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holmgren is 5-1 against this line in his last six games dating back to the regular season while shooting 56.1% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grizzlies allowed the fourth-most 3s per game to opposing power forwards this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thunder vs. Grizzlies prop picks made at 11:37 a.m. ET 04\/24\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m looking for Ja Morant to have a game as the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies&#8217; first-round series shifts locations.
