Grizzlies vs Trail Blazers Prediction
I’m riding with the Trail Blazers at -7.5 on Thursday night. The Grizzlies are undefeated both SU and ATS at 4-0, and we’ve made money on them this season. However, I’ve been high on the Trail Blazers since the start of the season, and they’ve looked great through three games. The Trail Blazers were a playoff team last year and added Lillard and Morant to their backcourt.
The Trail Blazers are a legit contender in the West and are a team I’m going to bet on a lot this season. As great as the Grizzlies have looked, a schedule of the Jazz, Kings, and Grizzlies doesn’t move the needle much. I need a prove-it victory from the Grizzlies before I can back them in spots like this. I’ll lay the points with the Trail Blazers.
