    Portland +3.5 at Memphis?

    On the 2nd game of a back to back

    Is this the books just continuing to underestimate Memphis or is there something we don't know about?

    Last night the Blazers got pummeled by New Orleans and Memphis should be up for this playoff spot showdown

    I thought the line would be higher but instead it's moved down, but it's the NBA so who knows

    Between trading Crowder and Hill and Allen hurt Memphis a little short on bodies on the wings, so some trash players getting minutes.

    Think they opened at minus 4.5, market has pushed it down to minus 3. Blazers were the on fire just last week so it's not surprising -the market typically hammers the form team. Probably come down to Lillard vs Morant. Morant has the athleticism to give Lillard problems. He's capable.

    IDK Crowder was pretty inconsistent and Grayson Allen hasn't played for awhile but they've been fine with Melton and Tyus Jones. The books must see some bad matchups because on paper it seems like the line should be higher. Portland is 10-19 on the road and they just played last night. Watch them beat Memphis by 30 here, who knows.

    Morant and Brooks are really poor defenders... but then again so are Lillard and McCollum

    I thought about over 235 but feels like a coin flip at that number

    Brooks is not a poor defender.

    Grizzlies have a pretty high quality bench now with the addition of Dieng. I don't anticipate Jaren Jackson being a bench player moving forward, but for this game the 2nd string was Clarke, Dieng, T Jones, Jaren Jackson, and Melton. WOW that's pretty good

    Josh Jackson. I think Josh will continue to play. Winslow will come back and start at the 3 and Kyle Anderson will stop playing. Maybe Allen will play if he gets healthy.

    Josh Jackson is a bust. Awful pick by the Suns. Need to send him back to the GLeague.
