Grizzlies vs Trail Blazers Prediction

The current betting odds have the Trail Blazers listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Trail Blazers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 23-28 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West. They have looked a lot better on their home court though with their 13-13 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies haven't looked great in their games this season with their 20-29 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West. They haven't been a great road team either with their 9-13 road record this year. The Grizzlies have looked better as they enter this game with some momentum from 2 wins in a row now, but they are off a tight win over the Kings who are one of the worst teams in the NBA. They have won 2 in a row now, but they still haven't looked that great lately as they are 3-7 in their last 10 games and were on a big losing streak. They have also been involved in the trade deadline as a seller so they no longer have some of the talent that was keeping them afloat. The Trail Blazers haven't looked any better lately as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games and they have been in a huge slump lately, losing 6 games in a row now, but they will be looking to bounce back on their home court. As bad as they have been lately, the Trail Blazers are still competing for the play-in tournament in the West at the moment, and they didn't have an easy stretch of schedule during this 6 game losing streak either. The Trail Blazers have looked better at home all season and they are going to bring their best effort here to snap this 6 game losing streak against an inferior opponent. The best way to place a bet here is on the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


“Those are the constraints that we’ve agreed to, and it’s for everybody’s best in this situation. He went a little bit over today. Our discussion with him was more about how we distribute that fourth quarter, and we felt like we were a little bit down, so we let him roll and look to get us back into the game, which he really did.” - Tuomas Iisalo on Ty Jerome.


“It was just awesome to hit that shot. Obviously, not the best shooting night. But it’s been a crazy couple days and once I get my legs under me and get adjusted to that time zone — it’s, what, 2:00 a.m. right now? — I’ll be fine. All of those shots felt good. I think three or four of them were short. So we’ve got two days now in between, so just get in the gym, get in the weight room, just get my legs underneath me.” - Vit Krejci on his Blazers debut after their loss to the Suns in their game on Tuesday.
