Advice and prediction
The Grizzlies are 4-1-1 in their last six games against the spread, and I think they’re being undervalued here at home against a somewhat inconsistent Suns team that should be out of rhythm after a weeklong layoff. The Grizzlies have won four of their last five games against the Suns and are on a three-game win streak against Phoenix.
The public is unsurprisingly behind Devin Booker and the Suns, according to Action Network, but the Grizzlies have been outperforming expectations from a betting perspective without him, and I think they can keep this game close throughout. Take the points and the home underdog, Grizzlies +4.5.
Prediction: Suns 107, Grizzlies 105
