Play: Portland -3.5 -105
Time: 9 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Memphis hasn't played a game since Feb. 11 because of the All-Star break. Additionally its top two scorers, Marc Gasol (illness) and Mike Conley (ankle), aren't 100 percent. Gasol has missed practices and Conley has struggled in his last two games (5.0 ppg on 3-of-15 shooting and just four assists). The Trail Blazers seemingly got better at the trading deadline, acquiring Arron Afflalo and Alonzo Gee from Denver. Both are expected to play in this one. Portland is 23-5 at Moda Center where it is allowing opponents only 93.1 ppg. The Blazers hit threes and the Grizzlies are below average in perimeter defense. Portland also is better from the stripe and it grabs more offensive rebounds.
Record: 291-210-11 (58.1%)
Bankroll: +315.82%
