The Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

The under is 9-2 in Trail Blazers last 11 overall. The Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The Memphis Grizzlies remain one of the more consistent teams in the league SU and ATS, and I understand if you trust them more with the reasonable chalk. However, the Portland Trail Blazers are off to a terrific start through 6 games, and they're extremely well rested given that they haven't played since Friday. It's never easy to ply in Portland, and it's the Trail Blazers who have won 4 of the last 5 meetings against the Grizzlies. I'll grab the points here in a game the Trail Blazers will have a chance to steal outright.
Randy’s Pick Portland Trail Blazers +3.5
