Blazers vs. Grizzlies Prediction and Odds (Back Grizzlies Against Tanking Blazers)
The Memphis Grizzlies and the Portland Trail Blazers will play their last games before the All-Star break. The Grizzlies are on a five-game winning streak, while the Blazers are on a three-game winning streak. With both team nursing injuries and roster changes, tonight will be a good opportunity for both to get a morale-boosting win before regrouping for the final stretch of the season.
The Grizzlies are still fighting to move up in the West. At the same time, Portland is trying its hardest to stay in the play-in's final spot. Who will take another step towards their goal?

Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies Prediction and Pick
The Blazers have won three straight games, which is shocking considering who they have on the roster. While they have been the feel good story of the week -- and I don't mean to sound like the hater I normally am -- but that story ends tonight. The Grizzlies aren't the type of team to fall asleep at the wheel and disrespect an opponent.
Over the last 10 games, the Grizzlies have the second-best offensive and net rating, while having the fifth-best defensive rating. Memphis has covered its last six games ATS, including an 11.5-point spread against the Detroit Pistons.
Ja Morant likely won't play tonight, as he's still nursing an ankle injury. Still, the Grizzlies have showed that their depth is some of the best in the league and can run anybody out of the gym. I'll take Memphis to close out their "first half" strong.
Lean: Memphis -11.5 (-110)
