• The Grizzlies have won each of their last four games against teams that held a losing record.
• The Grizzlies have covered the spread in each of their last four games against teams that held a losing record.
• The Trail Blazers have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five road games against Southwest Division opponents that held a winning record.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The Memphis Grizzlies continue to tread water despite their injury situation, and they’ve covered 8 of their last 9 games. The Portland Trail Blazers have been better than expected over the last week or so, but they’re also playing a Grizzlies team that beat them at home 134-89 a couple of weeks ago. At home and with the way the Grizzlies are covering numbers, it’s hard to step in front of the home team. The line is thick, but I’m still riding with the Grizz.
