Result:
WIN

Memphis is No. 2 in the West behind Golden State. Memphis is tops in the NBA in points allowed and in bounce back mode after a 105-89 loss at Oklahoma City. That was Wednesday, so the Grizzlies have had three full days to rest. Memphis has a stellar 16-9 road record, and the Grizzlies are 4-1-1 ATS following a loss. Portland is off a loss, too, is on a 5-11 ATS run, plus 7-15 ATS against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Memphis has won seven of the last eight matchups against the Blazers, including 4-1 here in Portland. The Grizzlies have taken both meetings with the Blazers this season, beginning with a 112-99 win in Portland on Nov. 28th. Memphis then won at home in January, 102-98. Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley missed the latter matchup because of a sore ankle. He had 21 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists in the victory in Portland. The road team is 7-3 ATS when these teams clash, and the Grizzlies are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Play Memphis.
