The Thunder are known for their high octane offense led by the dynamic duo of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant while the Grizzlies' famed grit and grind style of play is the perfect way to counter their rivals.
Memphis have often slowed down the pace of the game to try and nullify the Thunder's movement and star players and while it does work at times, there are others when the Thunder are just too potent and burn through Memphis.
These are only a few factors playing in to this top match.
Adding the fact that these two teams are unbeaten so far in the preseason gives it a little more excitement.
Finally, it is expected that the stars are only going to appear in bit part roles during the game. But the young and up-and-coming players in both teams will definitely have a lot on their shoulders as they are seen as the future of the clubs – and the extension of the team's rivalry should easily spill down on to the young players.
For Oklahoma City, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, Enes Kanter and Dion Waiters are still probably going to start for the team as they play in the first quarter, while the Grizzlies may bring out Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Jeff Green to play important minutes.
