With Allen Iverson likely out, the Memphis Grizzlies try to avoid losing their sixth consecutive game when they host a Portland Trail Blazers team looking to win its third straight with a new lineup.

NBA basketball betting odds like the Blazers in this one as they are listed as 5.5-point favorites.

With Iverson’s status in question, the Grizzlies will likely have to rely on the core of Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo, and Mike Conley.

The Grizzlies, who haven’t won since beating Toronto on Oct. 30, have lost seven straight to the Trail Blazers since a 96-92 victory on March 29, 2007.

Portland, which is opening a five-game road trip, has won two in a row since switching to a three-guard lineup featuring Brandon Roy, Andre Miller, and Steve Blake.

Roy averaged 22.3 points in four games against the Grizzlies last season and is trying to bounce back from a two-point effort Sunday.
