How to Watch Memphis Grizzlies-Portland Trail Blazers, Injury Report, Betting Lines, Lineups & More

The Memphis Grizzlies failed to match their longest win streak of the season despite holding a halftime lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, ultimately falling 117-110.

They’ll now play on no rest for the first time since Feb. 21 and will aim to end a four-game losing streak in this situation. The Grizzlies are 2-6 on the second of a back-to-back this season, but haven’t won in 2026.

Ty Jerome and rookie Cedric Coward returned in Minneapolis but aren’t expected to suit up vs. the Portland Trail Blazers. Santi Aldama was expected to return but ultimately didn’t participate and has been ruled out. Head coach Tuomas Iisalo has been evenly distributing minutes to his 10 available players, but won’t have that option given the injury report Memphis has released prior to this one.

Portland fell in Atlanta 135-101 on Sunday in what was a second of a back-to-back on the road, since it was defeated 109-93 in Charlotte to close out a 6-6 February. This is the fourth-leg in a five-game road trip for the Blazers that will end in Houston on Friday. They’re 1-2, having opened the trek with a 121-112 victory in Chicago on Feb. 26.

The Blazers are 22-18 against Western Conference foes and 13-18 in road games. Memphis is just 12-17 at home an 18-24 against the West.

Grizzlies look to gain season split vs. Blazers

The Memphis Grizzlies (23-37) host the Portland Trail Blazers (29-33) in the fourth and final meeting between these teams this season. Although the teams enter Wednesday’s matchup ranked 10th and 11th in the conference, there isn’t much of a chance for the Grizzlies to make a run at the final play-in spot.

Portland is one game behind the L.A. Clippers, who sit at No. 9, and 2.5 behind the eighth-seeded Golden State Warriors.

The Blazers have won the last two matchups, both at home, winning 135-115 on Feb. 6 and 122-115 the next night at Moda Center. Memphis won the only meeting at FedEx Forum, 119-96 on Dec. 7. Portland is looking to win the season series from the Griz for the third time in four years and has won six of 10. Jerami Grant has led the Blazers in scoring all three times, averaging 24.3 points.

Portland leads the all-time series 62-49, having taken a 7-2 edge at the beginning of the meetings, which date back to the franchise’s inception in Vancouver in 1995. The Blazers are up just 46-42 since the Griz moved to Memphis.
