Blazers wrap up trek at MemphisBasketball Betting Lines03/01/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers hope to finish up a five-game road trip in winning fashion Monday against a Memphis Grizzlies team chasing them for the final spot in the Western Conference playoff hunt. Shooting for just the fourth playoff berth in franchise history, Memphis is now 3 1/2 games behind Portland for the eighth spot in the West. The Blazers improved to an impressive 3-1 on their trek Saturday in Minneapolis when Nicolas Batum netted 22 points in the third quarter on the way to a career-high 31, leading Portland to a 110-91 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Batum, the 25th overall selection in the 2008 draft, is in his second season in the NBA since coming over from France. The 21-year-old also finished with seven rebounds and seven assists against the Wolves. Batum did the bulk of his damage in the third quarter, when he drained four three pointers, and his 22 points in that frame alone surpassed his previous career-high of 20. LaMarcus Aldridge added 21 points and seven boards for the Blazers, who rebounded from Friday's overtime loss in Chicago. Rudy Fernandez added 18 points off the bench. "We definitely needed this win, especially giving away a game like we did last night [against] Chicago," Portland center Marcus Camby said. "The guys came out with energy, especially the second half defensively." The Grizzlies, meanwhile, are coming off a win in New York on Saturday. All- Star Zach Randolph poured in 31 points and pulled down a career-high 25 rebounds in that one, as Memphis used a late surge to take down the Knicks, 120-109, at Madison Square Garden. Rudy Gay added 27 points and five rebounds for the Grizzlies, who have won four in a row on the road for the first time since January 1-19, 2005. Marc Gasol donated 25 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists, while Mike Conley tallied 18 points and five assists for the victors. "What can you say about Zach (Randolph). Thirty-one and 25 and he probably would've had more [rebounds] if guys weren't taking rebounds from him because he can't jump," Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins joked. The Grizzlies have been a bit of a Bipolar team recently. The latest road success hasn't transferred Memphis and Hollins' club has dropped six straight on its home floor. Portland has won six straight at FedEx Forum and 10 of its last 14 overall meetings against Memphis, but both Grizzlies wins have come this season in the Pacific Northwest.
