Grizzlies Visit Trail Blazers at Moda Center
The Memphis Grizzlies will visit the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center on Wednesday evening.

Portland (17-13) is riding high after two big wins in the past five days. After taking down the first-place Toronto Raptors on Friday, the trail Blazers squeaked by the Clippers with a 131-127 win in LA. The game saw an incredible offensive performance from superstar point guard Damian Lillard, who scored 39 points while shooting 6-of-7 from three-point range. 21 of Lillard's points came in the third quarter. All-Star guard C.J. McCollum scored another 27 points, including a dagger step-back to clinch the win for Portland. In typical form, Lillard and McCollum have been the driving forces behind Portland's success this season. Lillard is averaging a team-high 27.3 points, while McCollum is adding another 21.9 points per game.

Memphis (16-14), meanwhile, has hit a rough patch recently. The team has dropped three straight games, due primarily to its stagnant offense. At just 102.2 points per game, the Grizzlies rank 29th in the league in team scoring. That figure has slowly dwindled throughout the month of December, as Memphis has failed to reach the 100-point mark in nine of its last ten games. Offense has been hard to come by in all regards for the Grizz, as the team ranks just 27th in the league in three-point shooting and dead last in offensive rebounding. Memphis will look to overcome its recent woes as it embarks on the second game of its West Coast road trip.

Mike Conley (hamstring) remains day-to-day for the Grizzlies after missing the team's game at Golden State on Monday.
