Memphis bounced-back from its humiliating 50-point defeat at Golden State with a 103-89 win at Sacramento the following night. The Grizzlies shot 48.2 percent from the field and held the Kings to 39.2 percent. Memphis outrebounded the Kings 50-35 and Zach Randolph scored 20 points with 11 rebounds. Mike Conley leads the Grizzlies with a 13.4 scoring average and seven assists per game and Randolph averages 12.4. Memphis won all four regular season meetings last season and has won nine of the last 11 against Portland. Center Meyers Leonard is doubtful for the Trail Blazers with an ankle injury. The Blazers won on the road at Utah last night 108-92 as Damian Lillard poured in 35 points. Lillard and C.J. McCollum combined for 24-for-40 from the field against the Jazz, which was held to 37.5 percent as a team. Memphis is back on track after Monday's rout and Portland is on a back-to-back. Play the Grizzlies.
