Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at 10:00 pm
This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Memphis has won five straight games and that is keeping this price down. Two of those were on the road but those were against losing teams. Memphis will be without big man Jonas Valanciunas (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) for the second straight game. The Grizzlies are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning home record. Portland is coming off a 21-point loss against San Antonio but is in a good spot here. Damian Lillard averages a team-high 28.1 ppg and has scored 35 or more points in three of the past four games. He had 35 against the Spurs on Monday but the Blazers were trounced 125-104 at home. The Blazers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a double-digit loss at home. Here, we play against underdogs off an upset win as an underdog, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .501 and .600. This situation is 121-72 ATS (62.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (518) Portland Trail Blazers
