Thunder vs Grizzlies Fantasy NBA: Oklahoma City Thunder will hit the floor after losing to the Knicks in a game where they didn’t have their primary scorer in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. On the other hand, the Memphis Grizzlies will hit the floor after losing a close battle against the Denver Nuggets, despite 20 points performances by Dillon Brooks and Brandon Clarke. More information about OKC vs MEM Dream11 will be given here.
Thunder’s season: Oklahoma City is in rebuilding mode so it is not a surprise that they have a losing record. However, they have a centerpiece in Shai, who is accompanied by other talented young players in Dort, Svi, and Robey. For Thunder, this season looks to be all about the development of their young core.
Grizzlies’ season: While the Grizzlies are a little low in the NBA standings for the Western Conference, their defense has made it tougher for oppositions. Morant, their young PG is surrounded by other young players like Clarke, Brooks, and others, while a veteran Center Jonas Valanciunas cleans up the boards, plays decent defense, and is a more than capable offensive player.

Morant is the primary scorer and the primary ball-handler for the Grizzlies and makes them a competitive unit.

The veteran Center has been an anchor at the rebounding end and has provided decent scoring inside the paint as well. His presence has enabled Grizzlies to become a resolute foe and he seems to be becoming even better with experience. Jonas is averaging almost 15 RPG in the last 4 games.
Al Horford
PPG: 14.4
RPG: 6.7
APG: 3.3
TPG: 1.1

Dillon Brooks: PPG: 15.8 RPG: 3.1 SPG: 1.4 TPG: 2.0 PFP: 27
Dillon has struggled shooting this season and despite that, he is an important component of the Grizzlies offense. Brooks will need to at least muster up his shooting percentage to 40 before the season is done.
Kyle Anderson: PPG: 13.0 RPG: 6.0 APG: 3.4 SPG: 1.1 TPG: 1.4 PFP: 31

Mike Muscala: PPG: 9.7 RPG: 3.8 PFP: 20
Muscala stretches the floor at the big-man position and enables his squad to become tougher to defend. He has had his moments in the season and had posted some 20+ scoring games too.
