Portland HC Chauncey Billups ripped into his team after their loss on Monday. He told them they looked lost on the coach and played with no energy. I expect them to come out strong here tonight!
The Memphis Grizzlies are struggling on the defensive side this year as they are allowing 118.7 points per game, which is 29th in the league. The Griz are not a good perimeter team and this should help Damian Lillard get back on track.
He has been struggling this season to put up numbers for the Portland Trail Blazers this season. He is averaging just 17 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 0.3 steals in 31 minutes per game. He is shooting terribly as he is 36 percent from the floor, a CAREER LOW 8.3 percent from beyond the arc. . In his last game against the Clippers, Lillard played 28 minutes and finished one of his worst games of his career with 12 points, three rebounds, three assists, and four turnovers. If he can make this performance a better shooting night, it will help give Portland a win and cover tonight!
