Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies. The NBA pick for this game is the Memphis Grizzlies. One might lean toward the Suns given that Phoenix prevailed in their most recent meeting.

It’s time to get real, though. Memphis has a good reason for its protracted winning streak. The squad is receiving outstanding play from every player, but Morant stands out since he averages 27.4 points per game while shooting 46.6%.

Without Paul, Phoenix is just not the same. He is the catalyst for this club’s success, so having him out against a hot Memphis squad is a recipe for failure.

On their path to victory, the Grizzlies should wear down the Suns. The Memphis Grizzlies will win to a predicted score of 119-105.
