Memphis Grizzlies vs Phoenix Suns Prediction: The Suns hunt for revenge without their assassin Booker

The NBA Regular Season has been bringing us a bunch of riveting battles. The action is sky-high and this has been a great start to the season but I believe we are way past the start at this point and the midseason window is heading closer. Will there be a bunch of trades or will this be one of the quietest midseasons? At any rate, the Memphis Grizzlies will meet the Phoenix Suns here.

Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies come into this game after losing 109:123 to the Golden State Warriors despite an electric 36 points performance by Ja Morant. The Grizzlies have lost three of their last four games, on their last road trip after they had won seven in a row. Due to that winning streak, the Grizzlies have piled up 20 wins but the 12 losses would bother them a bit. Their play has been at high level since last season and the team has taken the step to form a dynasty, but a lot will hinge upon how Morant manages the Playoffs pressure, an area where this young Grizzlies team has a lot to learn.

Phoenix Suns

The Suns come into this game after a fighting 125:128 Overtime loss despite a 31 points performance by Landry Shamet and a 16 assists effort by Chris Paul. The Suns have now lost three in a row and eight of their last eleven games in what has been their toughest stretch in a long time. Lately, Devin Booker has been injured which has caused big imbalances but the team depth has been questionable throughout the season. That’s why injuries to Cam Johnson and Cameron Payne have deepened the woes. The team has also parted ways with Jae Crowder, who was a big part of the scheme.

Expert Betting Tips

The Suns have been playing some awful basketball lately and the Grizzlies sure know how to take advantage of such teams. Away from home and no Devin Booker is a combination that must hurt the Suns a lot. The team is in tatters and looks outmatched for this battle. That’s why the Grizzlies are big favorites. I predict a 128:116 win in their favor.
