Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Grizzlies have won 6 straight games against the Suns, so you can make a case for the points. However, the Grizzlies remain the most banged up team in the league, and now they’re on the end of a back to back. Horrible spot for the Grizzlies, who are already asking a lot of players who usually don’t get a lot of playing time. The Suns are not only winning games, but they’ve covered 9 of their last 10 games. The Suns have been a cash cow over the last month and are now 24-10-2 ATS on the season. I’m not stepping in front of that. I’ll lay the buckets with the Suns on the road.
