A betting analyst expects another low-scoring Grizzlies–Trail Blazers game on Thursday, Oct. 29, and targets Cam Boozer for assists.
The Story
The Memphis Grizzlies and Portland Trail Blazers meet in Portland on Thursday, Oct. 29, with tipoff set for 10 p.m. ET at the Moda Center, according to published betting information.
In that matchup, betting analyst Todd Cordell backed an Under 233.5 points game, citing Memphis’s early team defence and slower, more structured pace, along with Portland’s defensive rebounding and limited second-chance points.
Cordell’s player prop focus includes a top pick of Cam Boozer over 3.5 assists, a bet that he says has paid in each of Boozer’s first four games, and he expects it to continue as Portland’s half-court looks could create additional passing opportunities.
The analyst also selected Damian Lillard over 3.5 rebounds, pointing to Lillard’s rebounding production through his first three appearances and noting that he has cleared 3.5 boards in the majority of recent games when he has played within a projected minutes range.
The published odds list Memphis at +7.5 against Portland on the spread, Portland at -7.5, and set the over/under at 233.5 points, with the Under 233.5 priced at 52% in the provided probabilities.
For the moneyline, the same information has the Grizzlies at 28% and the Trail Blazers at 73%.
A head-to-head trend included in the preview says the Over has gone 4-6 in the last 10 matchups between Memphis and Portland.
