What to Know
The Memphis Grizzlies will hit the road for the third straight game as they head to Moda Center at the Rose Quarter at 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two.
The Grizz was close but no cigar on Sunday as they fell 121-118 to the Los Angeles Lakers. The losing side was boosted by point guard Ja Morant, who shot 5-for-7 from beyond the arc and finished with a double-double on 40 points and ten assists.
Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers have to be hurting after a devastating 116-86 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. Portland was down 91-61 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Point guard Damian Lillard had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with 12 points on 4-for-15 shooting and turning the ball over four times in his 27 minutes on the court.
With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
