Smart Game Analysis
Memphis Grizzlies has a 58% chance of winning the game
The Grizzlies have significant momentum winning 6 of their last 8 games and possess a defensive edge over the slumping Trail Blazers.
Key Analysis
- • Memphis star Ja Morant is listed as doubtful, but the team has successfully adapted with depth players like Cedric Coward and Cam Spencer.
- • Portland is missing key playmaker Scoot Henderson and potentially Donovan Clingan, leaving them thin in the backcourt and frontcourt rotation.
- • The Grizzlies rank 13th in defensive rating, allowing 116.1 points per game, whereas the Trail Blazers rank 25th, allowing 120.7 points.
- • Portland commits a high number of turnovers (ranked 28th/29th), which the disciplined Grizzlies defense can exploit for transition points.
- • Memphis has won 6 of its last 8 games, including a recent victory over the Clippers, while Portland has lost 4 of its last 5.
- • The Trail Blazers must improve their perimeter defense and reduce unforced errors to overcome their road struggles.
