Oklahoma City faces the Memphis Grizzlies after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 51 points in the Thunder's 137-128 victory against the Houston Rockets.
Donovan Mitchell scored 26 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers punched their ticket to the NBA playoffs on Wednesday with a hard-fought 112-107 victory over the Miami Heat. A see-saw battle in Cleveland saw the Heat threaten to end the Cavs’ 11-game unbeaten streak after opening up a seven-point lead late in the fourth quarter.
The Grizzlies suffered their fourth consecutive loss on Wednesday, getting beat by the Oklahoma City Thunder 120-103 at home. Star guard Ja Morant dropped 24 points on 8-22 shooting from the field and 2-9 from beyond the arc, as nothing was enough to match Shai Gilgeous Alexander's 41-point effort.
With Memphis missing its key defensive anchor, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder should have no trouble sealing a road win at the FedExForum.
