The current betting odds have the Trail Blazers listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Trail Blazers have looked great in their games this season with their 3-0 record overall which has them right near the top of the West. They have looked good on their home court too with their 1-0 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have looked great in their games this season with their 4-0 record overall which has them right near the top of the West. They have been a great road team too with their 3-0 road record this year. The Grizzlies are having a surprise start to the season, but they have also gotten by with an easier schedule. They are coming off a tight win over the Jazz in their last one and that is the 2nd time that they have faced the Jazz this season. Their other 2 games were against the Kings and the struggling Warriors, so they have played some of the worst teams in the league to start the season. The Trail Blazers have also been rolling this season, but this is a team that was making strides last season. They had a lot of young talent and they have added to that this year, bringing in Ja Morant to join this starting lineup. They have a new head coach too who has them on the right path to start the season and they have been beating some good opponents too, coming off a road win over the Lakers in their last one. They have had one of the best offenses in the NBA in these first 3 games and Morant is definitely going to bring his best effort against his former team here. Look for the Trail Blazers to continue rolling at home and take advantage of a Grizzlies team that has been getting by on a weak schedule. The best way to place a bet here is on the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game.
