The Memphis Grizzlies will meet with the Phoenix Suns in NBA action in Footprint Center, AZ, on Friday, December 23, 2022, at 10:00 PM ET.

 

The Memphis Grizzlies (19-11; 14-14-2 ATS) continued their losing run on Tuesday night with a 105-91 loss at the Denver Nuggets after ending their seven-game unbeaten run with a 115-109 loss at the Oklahoma City Thunder this past Saturday.

 

Despite shooting 44.4% from the field and 5-for-26 from beyond the arc against one of the league’s weakest defensive teams, the Grizzlies fell short of the 100-point threshold.

 

The Grizzlies were ice-cold in the first quarter, which allowed the Nuggets to leap out to a 35-14 lead. Memphis outscored Denver 62-50 in the paint.

 

Ja Morant led the team in scoring with 35 points and 10 assists, while the rest of the team had a miserable day at work.

 

Dillon Brooks contributed 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals, and Jaren Jackson Jr. had 8 points, 5 blocks, and a few rebounds.

 

The Grizzlies and Nuggets are now tied for the top spot in the West. The Grizzlies are 12th in the NBA with 113.8 points per 100 possessions, hitting 35.2% of their 3-point attempts (17th).

 

Memphis ranks fifth in scoring defense, allowing 109.7 points per 100 possessions, on 50.9% of its shots inside the arc (tied for second), and 35.7% from beyond the arc (tied-13th).

 

  • The Memphis Grizzlies are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 matches. 
  • The total went UNDER in 5 of Memphis’ last 7 matches. 
  • The Grizzlies are 7-2 SU in their last 9 matches.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Phoenix Suns Predictions 12/23/2022

 

This previous Tuesday, the Phoenix Suns (19-13; 17-15 ATS) snapped their three-game winning run.

 

The Suns fell against the Washington Wizards 113-110 even though they were 7-point home favorites after defeating the LA Clippers 111-95, New Orleans Pelicans 118-114, and Los Angeles Lakers 130-104.

 

Phoenix overcame a 17-point third-quarter deficit and squandered a 10-point fourth-quarter advantage, which is plenty of evidence of how erratic the Suns and Wizards were throughout this contest.

 

The Suns are currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference. By scoring 117.5 points for every 100 possessions, they are tied with the Boston Celtics for the best offensive rating in the NBA.

 

The Suns’ 112.5 points allowed per 100 possessions rank 10th in the NBA, with 52.6% of their shots coming from inside the arc and 36.7% from beyond the arc (24th).

 

  • The Phoenix Suns are 3-6 SU in their last 9 matches. 
  • The total went UNDER in 7 of Phoenix’s last 10 matches against Memphis. 
  • The Suns are 14-4 SU in their last 18 matches at home.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Phoenix Suns. The NBA pick for this game is the Memphis Grizzlies. This match will get off to a much better start for the Grizzlies than the last two.

 

Choose Memphis to win because of all the uncertainties surrounding the Suns. Keep an eye on the injury report since Phoenix might be missing several of its top players.

 

The Suns would suffer a great loss if Devin Booker were to leave in the future. In his past nine games, he scored 30.0 points and 5.6 assists on average. Over the course of its previous 12 games, Memphis is 8-3-1 ATS.

 

The Suns, who went 3-6 ATS over their past 9 games overall, covered in four of their last 5 away meetings with the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies will win to a predicted score of 116-111.
