The series switches to Los Angeles for the next two games. 

Let's see if the predictions switch to being correct. 

Kevin Durant was one assist away from a triple-double last time out. That won't be the case Friday. Durant will have a triple-double wrapped up with more than 5 minutes to play.

Reggie Jackson will score more than 20 points. Caron Butler scores more than 15. 

Serge Ibaka, for some reason, doesn't want to take shots. He's averaging only 9.3 attempts per game this postseason. He starts shooting sometime, right? Ibaka takes 12 or more tonight.

Derek Fisher won't make a 3-pointer.

Jamal Crawford has four. By halftime.

We'll see multiple shots of Mrs. Sterling during the game. And Billy Crystal.

Kendrick Perkins won't have more than four points. Nick Collison will.

Steven Adams will get called for a technical foul.

This is the game Kevin Durant scores 40-plus points. Chris Paul doesn't. Paul gets 10-plus assists, but doesn't have more than 18 points.

Westbrook won't have more than five 3-point attempts. He makes at least two.

This is also the game DeAndre Jordan has 15 or more rebounds.

Both teams will score more than 110 points. 

Durant gets to the free throw line nine times. And has seven-plus assists.

J.J. Redick plays well. Like really well. He goes for 15 or more points.

The Thunder are an underdog for the first time in the postseason. They won't need the points. Thunder take a 2-1 series lead.

Game 1 prediction record: 9-15

Game 2 prediction record: 6-16

Memphis series prediction record: 58-63-5
