Damian Lillard finally cooled off after a month-long outburst as he finished with just 20 points in the 137-177 loss against the Pelicans. The setback was Portland’s third straight defeat on the road to put their record at 10-19 when playing away from Oregon. Defense appeared to have abandoned them after allowing New Orleans to shoot 53.3 percent from the field, including a third quarter collapse that enabled the Pels to explode for 41 points.

Rookie sensation Ja Morant recorded his first career triple-double in Sunday’s 106-99 win against the Washington Wizards as the Grizzlies continue to put the league on notice with a 14-4 winning blast to bring them right back to over .500 (27-26) ahead of their last game before the All-Star break. While the latest victory was huge, the Grizzlies were far from satisfied with how they performed, especially with the way they shot the three-ball (5-32) and their freebies from fifteen (15-25)

The Grizzlies, who currently hold the last seat in the playoff picture, will enter the joust just three games above the Trail Blazers, who will be playing the second night of a back-to-back on the heels of a lopsided loss against Pelicans in New Orleans. Fatigue might play a huge role in this game. The current trend of wins likewise favors the Grizzlies. That said, this game is definitely for Memphis to lose.

Moneyline: The Grizzlies are favored with a -192 match winner price whilst the visiting Trail Blazers will have to defy a +167 market offer.

ATS: The handicap is priced pick’em at +/-4.5 with Memphis obviously getting the nod at the minus selection.

TOTALs: The total points combined is projected to reach 235 with Memphis slightly going over their own line and Portland going under.

Score Prediction: 115 – 108 Grizzlies
