The Portland Trail Blazers’ losing streak continued on Wednesday with a 113-103 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Although the Blazers took a two point lead into the fourth quarter, Memphis pulled away in the final frame to hand Portland their seventh loss in a row and their tenth loss in their last 11 games.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets aren’t a great team at the moment, but they are keeping themselves relevant in the East with an above average record and young talent. One young talent will be unavailable to face the Blazers, as last season’s rookie of the year LaMelo Ball is currently in the G League for conditioning after missing time in the NBA’s health and safety Protocols.
