Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The bet on 'Oklahoma City Thunder Over 108.5' for the Team Total Points is a solid choice given the team's recent scoring trends. Despite a 2-3 record in the last five games, the Thunder's offensive output has been high, averaging 117.8 points across all games and 117 points in away games. This is significantly above the Outcome Point set at 108.5. Furthermore, the model prediction projects the Thunder to score 120.76 points, a clear indication that the team's scoring potential is being recognized. Combining the Thunder's robust scoring average with the model's high prediction, it becomes evident that betting over 108.5 total points is a statistically sound decision.

The bet on Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC) is a contrarian play against the model's prediction. Despite being the away team, OKC has a comparable performance to the Memphis Grizzlies in their last 5 games, with a minor difference in score (117.8 vs 118.8). Moreover, both teams have an equal record against each other (2-2) in their last 5 encounters, indicating that OKC can compete effectively against Memphis. The home advantage for Memphis may not be as significant as the model suggests, given that OKC's away score (117) is fairly close to Memphis's home score (124.6). This bet is a calculated risk relying on the statistical parity between the two teams and the potential for OKC to outperform the model's expectation.

Betting on 'Oklahoma City Thunder -5.5' in the point spread market is a promising choice due to a variety of factors. Firstly, the model prediction of -13.1 suggests a strong advantage for the Thunder, exceeding the point spread of -5.5. Moreover, the Grizzlies have shown a weaker defensive performance at home, allowing an average of 113.2 points per game in their last 5 home games, compared to the Thunder's away average of 116.6. Additionally, the Thunder have been scoring higher on the road (117 points per game) than the Grizzlies have been at home (118.8 points per game). This combination of a potent Thunder offense and a struggling Grizzlies defense makes the Thunder a solid selection for this bet.
