The Memphis Grizzlies and Portland Trail Blazers meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Moda Center. 

The Memphis Grizzlies look for a statement win to build on their five-game winning streak. The Memphis Grizzlies are averaging 106.6 points on 45.2 percent shooting and allowing 107.3 points on 45.3 percent shooting.

The Portland Trail Blazers look for a win after winning five of their last seven games. The Portland Trail Blazers are averaging 114.9 points on 43.8 percent shooting and allowing 115.9 points on 47 percent shooting. Damian Lillard is averaging 28.1 points and 6.7 assists while CJ McCollum is averaging 26.7 points and 3.9 rebounds.

The Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Trail Blazers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games and 18-7 ATS in their last 25 Wednesday games. The under is 21-7 in Grizzlies last 28 overall. The under is 4-1 in Trail Blazers last 5 overall.

The Memphis Grizzlies are a young team that's gaining confidence during this winning stretch and the return of Ja certainly doesn't hurt. The Portland Trail Blazers have not only had issues defensively, but now they have to deal with the loss of McCollum on top of the other injuries they already had. The Portland Trail Blazers are falling apart before our eyes injury wise. You can argue the Memphis Grizzlies should be favored in this contest. I'll take the free bucket.
