West Conf Game of the Month NBA
(NBA) Grizzlies (MEM) vs. Trail Blazers (POR),
Money Line: -177.00 Grizzlies (MEM) (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: MEMPHIS.

Without Jay Morant, the Grizzlies are being faded by many and the early wagering action has been on the Blazers. This has caused a drop in the spread on this game which has also brought the money line down far enough that I will not hesitate to get involved here. Memphis is off a loss but was a red hot 5-1 L6 before that and with the only loss in that stretch to the league-leading Cavaliers. The Trail Blazers are off B2B wins but this followed 5 straight losses and defeats in 10 of last 15. Memphis has defeated Portland by an average margin of 35 ppg in the first two meetings this season. It is obvious the Grizz give the Blaze some match-up issues. That continues here. Lay it!

T.M. Prediction: 124-112 MEMPHIS
