Prediction published on 11/24/24, 7:56 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 11/24/24 at 8:09 PM in NBA Picks

The Grizzlies with a 10-7 record led by Jaren Jackson who averaged 22.9 points per game, 5.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists host the Trail Blazers who have a 7-10 record and 3-6 on the road.

The son of Hall of Famer Scotty Pippen, is coming off a memorable night for him as on Saturday, where his father became a legend in the Chicago Bulls' arena, Pippen Jr. achieved his career-high of 30 points in what was also the season-high for the entire Grizzlies team with a game that ended 142-131. Grizzlies against Bulls reached the fourth quarter winning 109-98 and finished opening the game with an 8-3 run.

Due to Ja Morant's recurring injuries, the team must get used to playing at its best without its superstar. This season they have managed to do it a little more and have a record of 5-3 without Ja Morant on the court, who also did not play on Saturday due to his hip injury.

The Trail Blazers are coming off a bounce back against the Rockets by beating them in Houston by a score of 104-98. The Blazers scored 40% of the three-pointers they shot while the Rockets only made 25%, which was the factor that tilted the game in favor of the visitors.
