The Portland Trail Blazers are playing their fourth matchup of a five-game road trip as they take on the Memphis Grizzlies in a trip to the FedEx Forum.

The Blazers lost by 23 points when they were last in Memphis back in December, but they were able to get revenge on the Grizzlies by beating them twice just before the All-Star break in February. Now the Blazers can clinch a season series win with a victory on the road. Here's everything you need to know ahead of the matchup.

Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies preview

The Blazers struggled on their back-to-back over the weekend with losses to the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks, but now they find themselves with two days of full rest against a Grizzlies team that just played against a tough Minnesota Timberwolves squad last night. That should give the Blazers some formative advantage going into the game.

It doesn't mean the Blazers will automatically win the game. They have to still execute their game plan well enough to pull out a win. Given the fact that they are No. 10 in the Western Conference standings and the Grizzlies are No. 11, that only adds to the importance of the matchup.

The hope is that the Blazers can capitalize off of their rest and come out of the gate strong against a tired Grizzlies team that is dealing with several players on the injury report.
