***5-0 NBA RECORD*** MONEY-LINE DESTROYER (NBA SPECIAL)
(NBA) Memphis vs. Portland, 07/31/2020 4:00 PM, Score: 135 - 140
Money Line: -131.00 Portland (Home)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers

Justise Winslow will not be suiting up for the Grizzlies in this one. Ja Morant is a sublime talent, but I think he lacks the experience to get his team over this deeper and more veteran Blazers side. Portland is in ninth spot, so it has to hit the ground running over these final eight games. Damian Lillard is a big X factor overall and I look for the All Star to be a main focal point in this contest. That said, in a contest that could come right down to the wire, I'll recommend to lay the money line here for the straight up victory!

T.M. Prediction: 117-102 Blazers
