Suns at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Suns 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Suns without their 2 best players are not worth a play, even at (+410).

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -10.5 (-110).

The Suns without Paul and Booker on the road against 1 of the best teams in the West is not a recipe for success. The Suns have lost 8 of their last 9 games and have lost 4 of those by double figures.

Against Morant and the Griz at home, this should be a blowout. The Grizzlies rank 6th in points per game (117.1) and 1st in opponents’ FG percentage (44.3%). They have the talent on both sides of the court to wear down a short-handed Suns side.

Back GRIZZLIES -10.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 228.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies have gone Over in 6 straight games and have scored at least 120 points in 6 straight, having 130 or more points in 3 of their last 6. They rank 4th in pace and are at home, so they will undoubtedly want this to be a high-tempo game.

The Suns have gone Over in 2 of their last 3 as well. Expect the Griz to push the pace, and the Suns, who have scored at least 115 in 2 of their last 3, should keep up.

Back the OVER 228.5 (-110).

Phoenix Suns at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Suns at Grizzlies odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 128, Grizzlies 119

Money line

The Grizzlies appear to be resting players with injuries for the playoffs tonight, but the Suns should have a fully healthy lineup. Phoenix has the best overall record in the NBA and the best road record in the NBA.

The outcome of this game will not affect the standings whatsoever as both teams have clinched the top two seeds in the conference. That likely means a Suns win.

However, the price doesn’t make sense unless you include it in a parlay bet, so PASS on the money line.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

The Suns failed to cover the spread in their win over the Warriors Wednesday but are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games. They are 23-14 ATS on the road.

Memphis is 25-13 ATS at home this season. They failed the cover the spread in their win over the Spurs Wednesday but had covered in five straight prior.

The Suns beat the Grizzlies on the road 119-94 Nov. 12 and lost 114-113 at home to Memphis Dec. 27.

With most of the starting lineup out for the Grizzlies, expect the Suns to maintain control of this game.

Take the SUNS -7.5 (-102).

Over/Under

After a nine-game stretch of averaging 127.1 points per game, the Suns have scored 114 and 107 in their last two contests.

The Grizzlies have been filling the box score as well, averaging 123.1 points per game in their last 13 games.

This should be a fast-paced game with plenty of scoring.

Take OVER 229.5 (-107).

Suns at Grizzlies odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 116, Grizzlies 113

Money line

The Suns are rolling with a six-game win streak and are 2-1 on the road this season. The Grizzlies have not won or lost more than two games in a row this season.

While the Suns likely will be without Ayton, they have been getting big production from Kaminsky in his place, while the Grizzlies have a hard time replacing Brooks’ 20 points a game.

I lean SUNS (+100).

Against the spread

The Grizzlies are 7-4 ATS this season, and 4-2 ATS at home. Memphis is 3-1 ATS as a favorite.

The visiting Suns are 6-4 ATS and 2-1 ATS on the road.

Phoenix has covered the spread in its last five games. This is only the third game this season where the Suns are not favored.

I’m riding them until they slow down. Take the SUNS +1.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Both teams have played more to the Under than the Over to start the year, but three of the Suns’ last four games went Over the projected total. Four of the last five games for the Grizzlies stayed Under the projected total.

Their last two matchups from last season had totals of 221 and 225 points.

The Suns are averaging 116.8 points in their last five games. As I expect Memphis to keep it close, take OVER 221.5 (-108).

Suns at Grizzlies: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Suns 111, Grizzlies 105

Money line (ML)

The Suns lost in embarrassing fashion in their last game to the Washington Wizards, who then had players test positive for COVID-19, leading to three postponements for the Suns as they underwent contact tracing.

Phoenix has not lost consecutive games yet this season. Memphis, though, has won four in a row. The Suns are rested and itching to play after a week off. Take the SUNS (-190).

Against the spread (ATS)

The Suns still have the second-best cover percentage in the NBA at 63.2%. They have covered the spread in every win and, when they do not cover, they lose outright. Memphis is 7-5 ATS and 3-2 ATS as underdogs. They have been playing well but with Phoenix’s time off, I expect them to come out and play even better. Take the SUNS -4.5 (-115).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Suns still allow the sixth-fewest points in the league. Their Over percentage is only 36.4%. Memphis’ games go under in 2 of every 3. While four of the last five for Phoenix have gone Over, the layoff will slow down the pace. Take UNDER 218.5 POINTS (-110).
