The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Memphis Grizzlies in a game that could determine the series.

Oklahoma City owns a commanding 3-0 lead over the Memphis Grizzlies, who will be without Ja Morant according to reports from ESPN. The Thunder dominated the first two games of the series against the Grizzlies, before a backbreaking 29 point comeback in Memphis during Game 3.

Memphis already had no chance of a series win, but now its ability to avoid a sweep is in jeopardy. The Grizzlies, down their best player, will need what was a lackluster home crowd Thursday to come to life on Saturday in the Grit-N-Grind house.

The Thunder can earn back-to-back first round series sweeps, totaling its third ever sweep, with a win tonight in the FedEx Forum. A year ago, Oklahoma City made quick work of the New Orleans Pelicans to send the Zion-less Pelicans packing.

This game has plenty of stakes as the Thunder would be able to capitalize on plenty of rest if they secure a win tonight, up to nine days off before Round 2 begins.
