PREVIEW & TIPS Memphis Grizzlies VS Portland Trail Blazers
Memphis Grizzlies – Portland Trail Blazers – In addition to this match, Memphis and Portland will play another match by the end of the regular season, and judging by the position on the table, it suits Blazers in a fight for a better position. Just until a few days ago, Portland had a series of 13 linked wins, and the Memphis series of even 19 losses in a row.
Memphis Grizzlies News
Memphis seasoned 19 consecutive defeats this season and is one of the worst league teams with a 20-54 run (only Phoenix has a weaker performance). They managed to break an unpleasant series with a victory over Denver, but were defeated four times to break the Portland match with a triumph in the match with Wolves (also breaking a series of 17 defeats, and this was their first win outside Memphis this year !). These two victories, over Denver and Minnesota, the teams that are fighting for play-off and who are much better than Memphis, are a sign that Grizzlies can be struggling to win and celebrate their victory against favorites.
Memphis entered the season with a desire to fight for the playoffs, aware that they have no team to fight for the top, but certainly good enough to get involved in the fight for the first eight in the West. But many victories, of which the most expensive player, most importantly Conley, has in many ways disrupted this plan. Only young Brooks has performed in all of the previous games, which proves how many problems Memphis has this season. In addition to Conley and the once-trusting shooter Parsons has missed more than half a game, while lately Evans is not in the field.
The probable initial composition of Memphis: Harrison, Brooks, Green, Martin, Gasol
Memphis Grizzlies VS Portland Trail Blazers STATS
What Portland needs is a serious approach and with it we think that victory should not come at all. Let them see where the mistakes of Nuggets and Wolves were, and let them fix it, and Portland will then surely celebrate the easy victory of the guests.
Portland Trail Blazers News
Portland should have in mind the victory of Memphis over Denver and Wolves because they are teams in the rankings with the Blazers, and each kicks could cost a team from Oregon in a battle for the best position. Portland, thanks to a series of 13 consecutive victories, reached even the third place in the West, but how much team uniformity is indicated by the fact that they are still not sure of playing. Portland played with Memphis twice this season, and in a not-so-memorable remembrance their first duel in Portland remained, losing 97:98 (Conley scored 20 points in the second half).
The second match, which was played in Memphis, came from 100: 92, and as we initially pointed out, the schedule matches them because they would strengthen their chances of remaining in the top of the West with two victories in the remaining matches with the Grizzlies, which would give them the lead playground. The good thing is that they do not have problems with the injuries of the main players, so opponents continue to “terrorize” Lillard and McCollum, while their best possible support is the Nurkić center (which good games are struggling and for a better new contract).
The likely initial composition of Portland: Lillard, McCollum, Harkless, Amin, Nurkic
