The Thunder will trail by at least 10 points in the first half.
Kevin Durant, shooting 47 percent for the series and just 36 percent when guarded by Tony Allen, will shoot better than 50 percent and score more than 30 points.
Zach Randolph of Memphis is shooting 41.5 percent in two playoff games. He'll be better than 50 percent tonight.
