The Oklahoma City Thunder will attempt to avoid a letdown when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night for the second game of a back-to-back.
The game will end the NBA "first half" for both teams, with the Thunder having established themselves as a solid playoff contender while the Grizzlies almost surely have headed well down the road to the draft lottery.
The Thunder made the short flight to Memphis after a high-profile, 120-112 home loss to the new-look Cleveland Cavaliers in a nationally televised showdown Tuesday night.
Oklahoma City will be facing a team it handled easily, 110-92, at home on Sunday, even with Russell Westbrook sitting out with a minor ankle injury.
