Portland at Memphis

Premium Pick

Portland has a losing road record for the season and this is a long trip. It's also a banged up team running on fumes. The Blazers are on a 1-7 ATS run, 0-6 ATS on the road, as well as 8-20-1 ATS in their last 29 Conference Quarterfinals games. Memphis saw its chance for a sweep evaporate by blowing a 10-point fourth quarter lead on Monday, so they won't be in a good mood - and they won't want to make a return flight to Oregon. Memphis is #10 in the NBA in field goal shooting defense, plus second in points allowed. Memphis has really dominated this series and is on a 6-1 ATS run overall, 4-0 ATS at home. The home team is 4-1 ATS when they face off, with the Blazers 1-7 ATS in the last eight meetings, including 0-5 ATS at Memphis. Take Memphis to advance.
