Trail Blazers at Grizzlies picks and predictionsPrediction
Trail Blazers 116, Grizzlies 113
BET TRAIL BLAZERS (-102).
The Trail Blazers have covered in 7 of their last 9 games, which factors in here with how marginal the spread is. They are 3-3 over their last 6 road games with impressive wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors.
The Grizzlies are just 5-6 at home this season, and they have scored 115 points or fewer in 3 of their last 4 games at FedExForum. Portland’s offensive consistency, scoring at least 115 points in 4 straight road games, should help it win Sunday.
Take TRAIL BLAZERS (-102).
PASS.
Considering the prediction here, the moneyline odds are the better play. The spread for the Trail Blazers +1.5 (-115) is playable though if you feel you need the tiny bit of insurance.
BET UNDER 231.5 (-110).
The Grizzlies have gone Under in 8 of their last 11 games. In those, they have allowed 108 or fewer points 6 times. Memphis has topped 115 points just 3 times across that span. It is 8-15 O/U on the season.
The Trail Blazers have a more consistent offense, but are still just 3-4 O/U in their last 7 games. Portland has scored more than 116 just twice in that stretch. Take UNDER 231.5 (-110).
