The Phoenix Suns and the Memphis Grizzlies duke it out at the FedExForum on Tuesday night. Here’s a Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction. This article will include a Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies Pick.

Phoenix Suns Betting Preview

The Phoenix Suns have been in a major slump as they've lost eight of their last 10 games overall, and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting routed by the Raptors in a 127-109 road defeat on Sunday. Devin Booker led the team with 31 points and eight assists on 12 of 25 shooting, Bradley Beal added 30 points on 12 of 15 shooting, while Kevin Durant chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Suns shot 50 percent from the field and seven of 28 from the 3-point line, but they struggled to contain the Raptors from the start and were always playing from behind after allowing 38 points in the second quarter. Beal had another great game as a starter, but the Suns' lack of depth was really exposed with no bench player scoring more than nine points. 

Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies have cooled off a bit recently as they've dropped four of their last six games overall. The Grizzlies will be hoping to bounce back after coming up short to the red-hot Cavaliers in a 129-123 road defeat on Sunday. Jaren Jackson Jr led the team with 22 points on nine of 18 shooting, Ja Morant added 21 points with 10 assists while Like Kennard chipped in with 19 points on six of eight shooting off the bench. s a team, the Grizzlies shot 45 percent from the field and 15 of 39 from the 3-point line as they really took the fight to the Cavaliers from the start and never trailed by more than 11 points, but in a game that could've gone either way, the Grizzlies loss the battle of the boards by 57-37 with 10 extra offensive rebounds.

Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The Suns are keeping an eye on Monte Morris, who is questionable for this one, while the Grizzlies are expecting to have a full roster for this one. The Suns are mired in their worst slump of the season, they just got smashed by a slumping Raptors team and the introduction of Beal into the starting lineup has given mixed results as it really thins out the bench. The Grizzlies are playing below their best at the moment, as they can't help but turn the ball over. The Grizzlies were still more than competitive in their narrow loss to the Cavaliers, who have been blowing out every team on a nightly basis. The line is a bit higher than I would like, but I still think the Grizzlies snap out of their funk with a much-needed win and cover at home against this slumping Suns team.
