The Trail Blazers (30-33) used a strong finish, outscoring Memphis 24-19 over the final nine minutes to secure the win and continue their push for postseason qualification. Portland had lost three of their last four games entering Wednesday.
Robert Williams III contributed 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Blazers. Memphis, playing without Ja Morant (18th straight game missed) and with Zach Edey out for the season after ankle surgery, received double-figure scoring from seven players but fell to their second straight loss.
