NBA Preview: Suns vs. Grizzlies - Key Matchup, Odds, Predictions
The Memphis Grizzlies (2-2) are set to face the Phoenix Suns (1-3) at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The game tips off at 7:00 pm Arizona time. The Suns are hoping to improve their season with the return of Jalen Green, who may debut tonight after missing the start of the season. Phoenix has struggled with injuries and inconsistent performance but faces a weakened Grizzlies team missing several key players, including Brandon Clark, Zach Edey, Santi Aldama, and Ty Jerome. The Grizzlies recently lost to the Golden State Warriors 131-118, with Ja Morant scoring 23 points but shooting poorly. The Suns lost their last three games, including a recent overtime loss to the Utah Jazz. Devin Booker led the Suns with 34 points. The betting odds favor the Suns with a +110 moneyline, but they have yet to cover the spread this season. The predicted final score is Suns 111, Grizzlies 101. The matchup is expected to be competitive, with predictions favoring the Suns to win outright, especially if Jalen Green returns and plays off the bench. Key factors include the Suns' defense, rebounding, and the performance of players like Mark Williams and Devin Booker. The game will be broadcast on Suns+ and Arizona’s Family channels, with radio coverage on KMVP 98.7 and KSUN.
