Trail Blazers vs Grizzlies Prediction and NBA Odds

Trail Blazers vs Grizzlies Prediction and NBA Odds: The visitors Memphis Grizzlies will be starting as favorites against the host Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland Trail Blazers are set to host the Memphis Grizzlies tonight at the Moda Center. The Grizzlies currently find themselves as the Western Conference’s underperforming team, having experienced a losing streak of five games. On the flip side, the Trail Blazers, positioned at 12th in the conference, have notched 2 wins and encountered 3 defeats, and they are currently riding a wave of momentum with a two-game winning streak.

While the Trail Blazers will enjoy the comforts of home-court advantage, a closer look at their recent performance reveals a concerning trend. The team has grappled with home-court struggles, failing to secure a victory in their last 12 home games, spanning one from this season and 11 from the previous.

In a rather unexpected turn, despite being the visitors, the Memphis Grizzlies hold a favorable position, having triumphed over the Trail Blazers in their last two games with the Trail Blazers as the host team.
