Portland at Memphis

The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Lakers to close out November, but since then they have had a hard time finding the same focus and resolve. They dropped their next four games, needed overtime to top Phoenix, and beat the lowly Clippers by a single point. Nothing in those games point to them being a favorite vs a sound Portland team. They have also allowed 103.7ppg in the six games since the big Laker win. They are also just 1-5 ATS since November 10th as a favorite, with the games averaging over 200 total points. The Blazers are starting to put it together as they have won four of their last five games. They lost their last game to San Antonio, who seems to be beating everyone, and scored just 78 points. Teams that scored less than 80 in their last game and, take to the road as less than a four point dog, have played 17-5 to the over in the last 22 occurrences. The Blazers are the NBA's best team playing on zero days rest in recent times as they are 40-18 ATS when playing the second of consecutive nights. I'll go with Portland and the OVER here.
