MREAST NBA TUESDAY BIG TICKET

#507 PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS @ #508 MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES 8:00PM EST
PLAY ON #507 PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS -5 -110 FOR 4 UNITS

The Memphis Grizzlies will be without Allen Iverson as he takes a personal leave, and the word is Iverson is contemplating retirement. The Grizzlies have a bunch of good young players, but the bench has been ineffective as the team depth is a big question mark, and now have to replace 31 minutes a night from Iverson. The Grizzlies big 4 are getting 36+ minutes a night. What is happening is the fast paced no defense approach works well for awhile, but the Grizzlies have been outscored by a minimum of 8 points in the second half in each of their last 5 games. Portland can score, and play defense, and last year finished the season 9-4 ATS in their last 13 as a road favorite, and are already 1-0 this year. I like Portland in this one.
