Portland Trail Blazers vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 10/28/26, 11:41 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 10/28/26 at 11:43 PM in NBA Picks

Two teams that got off to a surprisingly good start remain linked in this early part of the NBA season; they will face each other when the Blazers cool down and host the Grizzlies at the Moda Center, with Portland holding a 7.5-point advantage in the pregame odds.

They rested on Wednesday, but on Tuesday the Blazers defeated the Lakers 136-129; Morant and Avd combined for 23 points each, and Damian Lillard added 21 with a crucial three-pointer with 43 seconds left on the clock. Holiday also scored 22 points, a remarkable effort for a Blazers team that, at 3-0, is off to its best start in the last 15 years. With Morant connecting on some mid-range jumpers and Lillard hitting threes like hotcakes, this Portland team deserves attention.

But so do the Grizzlies, who, with two days of rest, come into the game with a 4-0 record. Ty Jerome got off to a hot start in the first three games, and although he wasn't as influential and went 4-for-15 from the field in the win, Cerdic Coward recorded a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds for a splendid start to the season.
