Grizzlies at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 118, Suns 110
Moneyline
Considering that Booker won’t be available for the Suns, GRIZZLIES (-130) is the ideal choice in this game. There’s also a chance the Grizzlies get Bane back on the court on Friday night.
Against the spread
GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-105) is an enticing wager in this game with the Grizzlies coming off a disappointing loss to the Nuggets. The Suns are also missing their best offensive player in Booker and have struggled to win with him not on the court.
The Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record and they are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 road meetings against the Suns. Meanwhile, the Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss.
Over/Under
Even though Booker won’t be available, OVER 224.5 (-110) is still the ideal choice to wager on the total in this game. Both of these teams are top 11 in offensive rating this season, so plenty of points could be scored on Friday night.
The Suns have hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games against a team with a losing road record.
