NBA : Memphis Grizzlies vs Portland Trail Blazers Odds & Prediction

Game Info: March 19, 2025 10:00PM EST @ Moda Center at the Rose Quarter

In a Western Conference duel between two teams that are looking forward to a better season, the Memphis Grizzlies and the Portland Trail Blazers will go head to head. Memphis, for example, has large bright points in the form of lopsided victories such as the one over Miami, though it does struggle in covering the spread. In contrast, Portland has been up and down like a yo-yo this season, but comes off a convincing win over Washington. It has hurt from injury issues, as both teams have, so that adds to the uncertainty of this matchup. This one has drastically different betting trends, so it could very well come down to which team is able to find its footing first.
