The Memphis Grizzlies are gearing up for a challenging playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, scheduled to kick off on April 20 at the Paycom Center. The Thunder, boasting the best record in the league, swept the Grizzlies in their four regular-season matchups, making this an uphill battle. Memphis will be without their top perimeter defender, Jaylen Wells, due to injuries, placing added pressure on Scotty Pippen Jr. to contain the Thunder’s star guard, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is a frontrunner for the MVP award.

Game 1 of the series will air at noon on ABC, followed by Game 2 on April 22. Memphis is seeking to leverage their playoff experience to turn the tide against a formidable opponent, while the Thunder will rely on their consistent performance throughout the season.
