Grizzlies at Trail Blazers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Grizzlies 109, Trail Blazers 102
Money line (ML)
The Grizzlies are one of the hottest teams in basketball right now, having won five straight games (only the Utah Jazz have a longer winning streak right now) and playing again with PG Ja Morant. Coming back from an ankle injury, he has averaged 17 points and eight assists in his last two games. Meanwhile, Portland is down two starters with Nurkic being out at least six weeks and McCollum with a broken foot. They are 4-4 at home and have lost two of their last three overall. Take the GRIZZLIES (+105).
Against the spread (ATS)
In their five-game winning streak, the Grizzlies have gone 4-0-1 ATS. Portland has covered in only two of its last five games. The Blazers also have the second-worst ATS record at home this season, having covered the spread in only two of eight games this season. Memphis has the league’s best ATS record on the road, going 4-1 ATS away from Memphis. Their recent play, the trends, the injuries to the Blazers and the fact that I expect a Memphis win mean that you should take the GRIZZLIES +1.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Memphis is 4-9 O/U this season and Portland is 6-8 O/U. The Grizzlies are averaging 109.6 points in their winning streak while the Blazers are scoring 108.2 points per game in their last five games. Seven of Memphis’ last nine games have gone Under, while four of the last six for Portland have also gone Under. Take UNDER 222.5 POINTS (-110).
