Phoenix Suns Form


Phoenix have already clinched the #1 seed in the Western Conference, but they are not letting up.

The Suns are riding a nine-game win streak that has propelled them to a league-best 62-14 record.

Making their current streak even more impressive is the fact six of these wins have come on the road.

The latest road win came on Wednesday night when they downed Golden State 107-103.

All five starters hit double digits in scoring, with Mikal Bridges putting up 22 points and seven rebounds.

Devin Booker also had 22 points, to go along with five rebounds, but he struggled with his shooting as he shot just 23.8% from the floor.

Deandre Ayton was a dominant force in the paint, racking up 16 points and 16 rebounds in a double double.

Memphis Grizzlies Form


Memphis are also a team in fantastic form in the Western Conference, having won 10 of their last 11 games.

The Grizzlies go into this matchup on a six-game win streak that includes wins over Brooklyn, Milwaukee and Golden State.

They have gone 2-0 so far this week, following up a home win against the Warriors with a road win in San Antonio.

Memphis made straightforward work of Golden State in a dominant 123-95 win on Monday night.

They followed it up with another win on Wednesday, but San Antonio made them work for a 112-11 win.

That victory came without Ja Morant, who is sidelined for at least another week with a knee injury.

Tyus Jones led Memphis in scoring with 25 points, to go along with six assists, while Dillon Brooks contributed 21.

Verdict


Phoenix have the NBA’s best record, but Memphis are the league leaders in covers.

The Grizzlies are on a roll too so we are backing the home team to, at the very least, cover here.

Spread – Memphis +7.5 @ -110
Moneyline – Memphis Grizzlies @ +270
