The Oklahoma City Thunder are poised to complete a series sweep over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 4 after erasing a stunning 29-point deficit in their Game 3 victory.
With Ja Morant listed as doubtful after suffering an injury last game, the shorthanded Grizzlies face an uphill battle against a Thunder squad that has won 12 straight following road victories.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 31-point performance in Game 3 highlighted Oklahoma City's resilience, while Memphis hopes home court advantage might help them avoid elimination despite entering as 15-point underdogs.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Oklahoma City Thunder preview
The Thunder look to complete their first-round sweep of the Grizzlies on Saturday afternoon at FedExForum, following their stunning comeback from 29 points down to steal Game 3 in Memphis.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued his dominance with 31 points and 8 assists in that victory, while Jalen Williams added 26 points on efficient 9-of-16 shooting as OKC outscored Memphis by an astonishing 64-31 margin in the second half.
The Grizzlies' task grows even more daunting with Ja Morant listed as doubtful after suffering an injury in Game 3, potentially leaving Scotty Pippen Jr. (28 points in Game 3) and Jaren Jackson Jr. to shoulder the offensive load.
Despite Memphis traditionally performing well at home in playoff settings—winning seven of their last eight playoff games at FedExForum—the Thunder's championship-caliber defense and clinical execution have been too much for the young Grizzlies squad to handle throughout this series.
