Memphis at Portland

The Portland Trailblazers were hanging around at just over the .500 mark for most of the season. But, they have simply run out of will, and gas as we head down the stretch. Portland is just 8-17 over their last 25 games, losing five straight. It isn't just the losses, it is the way they are losing - like the team that has quit. The five losses have come by a total of 85 points or 17 points per game. Memphis has recorded three straight wins and are back to playing the type of defense that has made them so good this season. The Blazers just 16-34-2 ATS in their last 52 after scoring 100+, and points will be hard to come by tonight. Play on Memphis.
