Friday night’s matchup between the Phoenix Suns (-1.5) and the Memphis Grizzlies features two teams that have been trending in different directions since their initial starts to the season.
Phoenix began 1-3 but enter Friday on a six-game winning streak, tied with the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors for the longest streak in the league. The Suns have regained their touch from the three-point line over the course of the streak and have seen an increase in their scoring as a result. Memphis was on the brink of a 3-0 start before a few missed free throws down the stretch of its game against the Lakers dropped them to 2-1. They’ve gone .500 since then and have lost two of their last three heading into Friday night.
After a disappointing home loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, the Grizzlies will get some home cookin’ once again, but will the home crowd be enough to help end the Suns’ streak? Let’s take a look at which players could deliver on Friday night.
