Memphis Grizzlies at Phoenix Suns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Phoenix Suns odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (31-14) visit the Phoenix Suns (23-24) Sunday. Tip-off from Footprint Center is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Suns odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies are coming off a heartbreaking 122-121 loss on Friday vs. the Los Angeles Lakers (+6) which ended a season-long 11-game win streak. A big part of that loss was the Grizzlies’ 2nd-half collapse defensively, as they allowed 73 points, and 41 in the 4th quarter alone.

The Suns are coming off a Saturday night 112-107 win vs. the Indiana Pacers as 2.5-point road favorites. The Suns, despite being shorthanded due to injury, have won 2 straight after losing 3  in a row.

This is the 4th and final meeting of the regular season between the teams, with the Grizzlies winning twice (by 25 and 30 points) and the Suns once (by 17).

Grizzlies at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Suns 111

Moneyline

AVOID. 

The Grizzlies should win this game as they have the edge in nearly every major statistical category besides FT%. Despite being the away team, the Grizzlies are heavily favored. This is due to the amount of injuries the Suns have and the Grizzlies being among the best teams in the Western Conference right now. Expect the Grizzlies to win, but the moneyline here is too rich to bet on.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES -9.5 (-105).

Trends in both the recent games between these teams and individual games suggest that the Grizzlies covering the spread should be the slightly safer bet. The Suns are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games playing on no rest, and the Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games vs. the Suns. The Grizzlies, however, are also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 against teams with losing records.

Over/Under

BET OVER 232.5 (-110). 

The Over is 8-1 in the Grizzlies last 9 overall and is 4-1 in the Suns last 5 overall. Despite the Suns being shorthanded, their lack of defense and surprisingly solid offense has been enough to carry the Over, and expect that to continue in this game.

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.

Grizzlies at Suns odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 114, Grizzlies 108

Money line

PASS on the money line. Betting more than four times what you can win on the Suns just isn’t worth it and they have been playing too well to bet on the Grizzlies to win outright.

The loss Saturday was the first one at home for the Suns since October 27.

Against the spread

The Grizzlies are 20-14 ATS overall this season and 10-5 ATS in their last 15 games but are only 1-3 ATS in their last four.

The Suns are 17-15 ATS on the season but have failed to cover the spread in their last two games. They had covered the spread in their previous four.

The Suns will have to adjust to the absence of Crowder, and Morant will be a tough matchup for Phoenix.

Take the GRIZZLIES +8.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The Grizzlies’ win Sunday night went Over the projected total but only four of their last 12 games have.

The Suns, though, have had five of their last six games hit the Over.

The first matchup between the two teams finished with a total of 214.

Take OVER 219.5 (-107).
