Smart Game Analysis
Portland Trail Blazers has a 78% chance of winning the game
The Trail Blazers are poised to snap their losing streak against a Grizzlies roster decimated by the recent trade of Jaren Jackson Jr. and injuries to Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Ty Jerome.
Key Analysis
- • Memphis is without its top four offensive options: Ja Morant (elbow), Desmond Bane (foot), Jaren Jackson Jr. (traded to Utah), and Ty Jerome (calf).
- • Portland's backcourt gets a boost with Scoot Henderson probable to return, joining veteran Jrue Holiday and scorer Shaedon Sharpe.
- • The Grizzlies' offense will struggle significantly without Ty Jerome, who scored 28 points in their last win but is ruled out for this game.
- • Portland has a massive interior advantage with Donovan Clingan and Jerami Grant facing a depleted Memphis frontcourt missing Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke.
- • The Trail Blazers are desperate to end a five-game losing skid and are playing at home against a team effectively fielding a G-League lineup.
- • Memphis recently traded key defensive anchor Jaren Jackson Jr., leaving them vulnerable in the paint against Portland's drivers.
