Trail Blazers to face Memphis Grizzlies in opening round of NBA playoffs

After days of waiting for the tiebreaker scenarios to play out, the Portland Trail Blazers finally know where they are headed for the first round of the playoffs.

The Blazers (51-31) are set to meet the Memphis Grizzlies in the opening round of the Western Conference playoffs beginning Sunday in Memphis. The Grizzlies (55-27) are the No. 5 seed, but have home court advantage for the opening round series because they finished with a better record than the No. 4 Blazers.

The Grizzlies swept the season series 4-0 from the Blazers this season, but both teams enter the playoffs with injury concerns.
