Portland&#8217;s guards are the toughest group he has faced this season.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Score prediction<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Trail Blazers 119-111 Grizzlies.<\/strong> Last season&#8217;s ratings and home court put Portland about eight points ahead. Memphis has had two days off and Portland one, which narrows it a little.<\/p>\n<h2>Grizzlies vs Trail Blazers prediction<\/h2>\n<p>Memphis&#8217; four wins came against Utah twice, Golden State and Sacramento. Portland has beaten Phoenix and the Lakers, scored 124 or more every time out, and has more players who can take over a night when Lillard or Avdija is quiet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our pick: Portland to win, the Trail Blazers at -7.5 or shorter.<\/strong> We&#8217;ll leave the total alone. Portland&#8217;s attack points over, Memphis&#8217; defence points under, and the line already sits between them.<\/p>\n<p>Our player prop is Zach Edey under 8.5 points. He has scored 6, 8 and 4 in about 21 minutes a game, and Jerome takes most of the shots. It&#8217;s a three-game sample, so keep the stake small.
