The Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies will face off at the Moda Center in the NBA on Wednesday night. The Blazers (30-39) are 12th in the Western Conference, while the Grizz (43-26) are fifth. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Portland Trail Blazers are starting to build up some momentum, now going for a third-straight win after beating the Wizards 112-97 at home on Monday night. 

Anfernee Simons led the charge with an impressive 30 points, and with the side up by 24 points in the fourth quarter, Chauncey Billups was able to allow some of his starters an early shower.  

The Blazers are now averaging 110.6 points per game this season (23rd in the league), but they are a better defensive unit that allows 114.2 PPG (16th overall).

Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies have won five of their last eight games but will be looking for a better performance here after losing to the Kings 132-122 on the road on Monday. 

While Desmond Bane put up a stunning 44 points, none of his teammates were able to surpass 20 points on the night, which allowed the Kings to pull away in the second half. 

Still, the Grizz is the highest-scoring team in the NBA this season, averaging 122.7 points per game, but they are now down to 25th on the defensive end, allowing 116.8 PPG.
