Grizzlies vs Trail Blazers Prediction 3/4/26 NBA Picks Today

The Portland Trail Blazers pay a visit to the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedExForum on Wednesday night. Here’s a Grizzlies vs. Trail Blazers prediction. This article will include a Grizzlies vs. Trail Blazers pick.

The Portland Trail Blazers have cooled off a bit lately, as they’ve dropped five of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting thrashed by the Hawks in a 135-101 road defeat on Sunday. Jrue Holiday led the team with 23 points, six rebounds, and four assists on nine of 16 shooting; Donovan Clingan added 15 points with 15 rebounds and five assists, while Vit Krejci chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot just 40 percent from the field and 13 of 37 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and leaked 44 points in the first quarter to trail by 17 points at halftime and things only got worse in the fourth quarter, where the Trail Blazers got outscored by 32-16 to suffer one of their worst defeats of the season.

Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies have been struggling lately as they’ve lost 14 of their last 19 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after having their two-game win streak snapped by the Timberwolves in a 117-110 road defeat last night. Jaylen Wells led the team with 19 points on seven of 12 shooting; Cedric Coward added 15 points; Ty Jerome scored 14 points, while GG Jackson chipped in with 12 points and 11 rebounds. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 38 from the 3-point line as they poured in 32 points in the first quarter to jump out to an early 11-point lead and they were able to stay in front until the third quarter, where they managed just 20 points to allow the Timberwolves to put them behind by as many as 19 points at one stage.

The Trail Blazers are still missing Shaedon Sharpe, and they are keeping an eye on Deni Avdija and Kris Murray, who are both questionable, while the Grizzlies have ruled out Brandon Clarke, Ja Morant, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Zach Edey once again. These teams have already met three times this season, with the Trail Blazers leading the series by 2-1. I get why the Trail Blazers are favorites and they really should be good enough to get the win on the road, but the Grizzlies are still capable of surprising a few times despite being so depleted and I think this is a spot where they can at least make it close.
