The Trail Blazers have had a turnover problem all season. They enter tonight's game ranking 29th in turnovers per possession, coughing up the ball on 15.6% of their possessions.

Grizzlies vs. Trail Blazers Prediction and Pick

The Grizzlies have some significant home-road splits. They're 25-11 on their home court but just 18-15 on the road. Their average scoring margin goes from +8.9 at home down to +2.6 on the road.

This game is also a matchup between two teams trending in opposite directions. The Grizzlies are just 5-5 in their last 10 games while the Trail Blazers have won two straight ahead of tonight's showdown.

The Grizzlies also have a major fouling problem, averaging 21.0 personal fouls per game, the second most in the NBA. Considering Portland draws 19.1 personal fouls per game, the ninth most in the NFL, free throws could be enough for the Blazers to cover this spread if the game remains within reach.

Pick: Trail Blazers +4.5 (-110) via BetMGM
