Memphis Grizzlies score vs. Oklahoma City Thunder: live updates
The Memphis Grizzlies had a perfect homestand, but now they're back on the road. The Grizzlies (19-9) are taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night at Chesapeake Arena.
This is the third meeting this season between the Thunder (11-18) and Grizzlies. Memphis won the first two games at FedExForum.
Memphis is getting healthier and has one of its cleanest injury reports of the season. Desmond Bane and Danny Green remain out, but the rest of the rotation players are healthy. Jake LaRavia hasn't been in the rotation since returning from a foot injury, and he's currently on a G League assignment.

Danny Green — LT Knee Surgery Recovery
Jake LaRavia — NBA G League Assignment

A big part of the Grizzlies' success against Thunder has been Dillon Brooks' defense on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder guard has been one of the NBA's most lethal scorers, but Brooks has held him to 10 of 32 shooting and 41 points over two games. Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 31.2 points and 5.8 assists per game.
The Grizzlies have an NBA-high seven-game winning streak, but the Thunder are trending in an opposite direction. Oklahoma City has lost five straight after winning three consecutive games.
