Portland at Memphis

The NBA Western Conference is loaded with very good to elite teams, and there are going to be some big measuring stick games along the way. One will take place tonight in Memphis as Portland comes to take on the Grizzlies. Memphis has won three straight and covered all of them, two having come on the road, and the Grizzlies have covered and won each of their last three at home. Portland was streaking, but has dropped two straight games, and has played well below the line in their last seven at just 2-5 ATS. The Blazers have yet to prove that they belong as they are just 5-12 ATS in their last 17 vs. a team over .600. The Grizzlies are in a different plane in that regard as they are 30-14 ATS in their last 44 at home vs. a team with a road winning percentage over .600. Take Memphis in this one.
