The Memphis Grizzlies, struggling with a 2-8 record in their last 10 games and dealing with a depleted roster due to injuries and trades, face the Portland Trail Blazers in the second game of a back-to-back set at Moda Center. Portland, fresh off a convincing 135-115 victory over Memphis on February 6, looks to extend its home winning streak to five games and improve its standing in the Western Conference play-in race. This matchup highlights Portland’s efficient offense (recent 54.4% FG in wins) against Memphis’ defensive woes (allowing 120+ PPG in losses), but Grizzlies’ recent acquisitions like Taylor Hendricks could provide a spark. With key absences on both sides, expect a fast-paced game favoring the Blazers’ depth.

Player Matchups to Watch
With potential absences of stars like Morant and Embiid, this game shifts focus to guards and forwards. Portland’s bench depth, highlighted by Henderson’s potential return, could exploit Memphis’ thin lineup, while the Grizzlies’ new additions aim to contain the Blazers’ perimeter threats.
- Scotty Pippen Jr. (MEM, if available) vs. Jrue Holiday (POR): Pippen Jr. (potential debut) brings playmaking vs. Holiday’s defense; a backcourt test for Memphis’ offense.
- Cedric Coward (MEM) vs. Shaedon Sharpe (POR): Coward (recent 18 PTS) faces Sharpe’s scoring (team-high potential); wing athleticism in focus.
- Cam Spencer (MEM) vs. Toumani Camara (POR): Spencer (23 PTS in recent games) vs. Camara’s versatility; a matchup for perimeter efficiency.
- Other Notes: If Avdija sits, Jerami Grant (23 PTS in last win) exploits mismatches; Donovan Clingan (17 REB vs. MEM) dominates paint vs. Grizzlies’ thin frontcourt.
