Grizzlies vs. Suns Pick
Spread Pick Grizzlies vs. Suns
- Grizzlies (+4 Units)
The Grizzlies have flipped wins and losses early on this season, and they lost their last game. The Suns have lost three in a row since winning their season opener, and two of the three losses were by at least 22 points. Phoenix lost all four games facing Memphis last season, and they are shorthanded without the second leading scorer, Brooks (19 ppg), and Jalen Green, who averaged 121 ppg. While Memphis is also missing some players, none are big scorers. The Grizzlies have struggled on defense in their two losses, giving up at least 131 points in each, but in the two wins, they have scored 128 points. Regarding the Memphis Grizzlies vs. Phoenix Suns prediction, the Grizzlies and their offense will be tough to handle for a Suns team that has given up at least 129 points in their last three games, and they are the pick to cover on the road.
Over/Under Pick for Grizzlies vs. Suns
- Over (+4 Units)
In the eight games these teams have combined to play, the total has gone over seven times, and that is the pick I am leaning towards in this game. Both teams have had issues on the defensive side of the ball. The Grizzlies have given up at least 131 points in their two losses, and the Suns have given up at least 129 points in each of their last three games. However, both teams can score, as Memphis has put up 128 points in each of its two wins, and the Suns scored a season high 1of 34 points in their last game. Two teams that can score but with poor defenses lead to a high-scoring game, so the Over is the pick.
