Memphis Grizzlies vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

The Grizzlies are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re supposed to be the better team, but they’ve been shaky over the last month and they’re still down Morant. The Kings also just lost to the Kings, allowing 132 points. The Trail Blazers have played their best ball of the season these last couple of months and have shown no signs of throwing in the towel, even though they probably should. The Trail Blazers have 18 home wins. This line is kind of surprising, as it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Trail Blazers win outright against the undermanned Grizzlies. Give me the home dog.
