Portland Trail Blazers vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Trail Blazers have covered 7 of their last 10 games, but they’re not winning and with this soft line, you’re basically asking them to win. The Grizzlies remain banged up, but they’ve quietly won 6 of their last 8 games, and it won’t be long before Morant returns. He’s listed as doubtful and not out, which means he’s close. The Grizzlies have more pep in their step given their recent play, while the Trail Blazers are a young, slumping team that’s hard to get behind until guys return. I have to ride the hotter hand and side with the Grizzlies in this pick em spot.
