The last game for the Memphis Grizzlies was a heartbreaker to say the least.
A 92-87 overtime loss to the Utah Jazz isn’t a great way to start the new year, but Memphis has a chance to respond against another sub-.500 team in the Portland Trail Blazers.
After the departure of LaMarcus Aldridge Portland decided to undergo a bit of a rebuild around star guard Damian Lillard.
Nicolas Batum, Wesley Matthews and Robin Lopez are gone as well, leaving head coach Terry Stotts focused on a dynamic backcourt pairing between Lillard and C.
