Portland Trail Blazers vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction: Will the Grizzlies remain without a win?

Memphis lost all matches since the start of the championship and now goes to Portland. Trail Blazers also started the season not in the best way, but they have already won twice. Will the Grizzlies remain without a win after the trip to Moda Center?

Trail Blazers, after three consecutive defeats since the beginning of the championship, from Los Angeles Clippers (111:123), Orlando (97:102), and Philadelphia (98:126), won two consecutive victories. And on the road, they beat Toronto (99:91) and Detroit (110:101).

In general, Portland has a good roster, and the team should not be a clear outsider. At the start of the season, we should note Shaydon Sharp - 20.2. Jerami Grant scores 18.2 points; Malcolm Brogdon adds the same amount off the bench. 10.2 points + 14.0 rebounds for Phoenix's other rookie D'Andre Ayton.

The Grizzlies are the only Western Conference team without a win yet. Memphis has alternately lost to New Orleans (104:111), Denver (104:108), Washington (106:113), Dallas (110:125) and Utah (109:133).

Memphis can't count on Ja Morant for now, but that's hardly the team's only problem. The Grizzlies seem to have made mistakes in the transfer market in the offseason, notably giving up Dillon Brooks, and that's why they fell out of contenders.

Given the form of the teams at the beginning of the championship, it's strange that Memphis is going as such a clear favorite for the upcoming game. Grizzlies not only lost all their matches but, in most of them, had no chance to succeed. Portland has strengthened well in the offseason and, as shown by the last two games, won against Detroit and Toronto, is already close to solving the tournament problems. We believe that the favorite here is selected incorrectly. We bet on Portland and also on not the most productive meeting - the Trail Blazers have a good defense, and Memphis has problems in offense.
