Prediction

The Grizzlies are coming off of a 1 point loss to the Lakers to end their 11 game win streak and it was full of drama, LA style.

From Lebron responding to the trash-talking Grizz to celebrity Shannon Sharpe almost fighting the entire Grizzlies team from the sideline….

Who doesn’t love a bit of drama.

Not only off the court but on the court too….

I am not sure about you but I wouldn’t be talking trash to one of the best player of all time.

The Grizzlies got what they had coming and dropped a close one in Crypto.com Arena and now roll into Phoenix looking to get back on track.

The Suns on the other hand have won 2 in a row and are looking to build on a bit of momentum after they lost by 30 to this Grizzlies team a week ago.

It is looking like no Devin Booker tonight again but Chris Paul is going to be back so it will be the DeAndre Ayton, Chris Paul and Mikal Bridges show yet again.

Bridges has been particularly great over the past few games, scoring 20+ points in 5 the Suns last 6 games but also facilitating. But more on Bridges later 😉

As for the matchup, I love the Suns to hang around in this one.

As I mentioned, they just lost by 30 to the Grizzlies a week ago and I think they are going to look for a bit of revenge at home tonight.

I am looking at another big game from Bridges and the Suns to cover this spread and possibly even sneak out a victory.

Best Bet

Suns +9.5 (-110)

Consensus Pick

Suns +9.5 (-110)


Player Prop of the Game

Mikal Bridges o3.5 Assists (-120)

As I mentioned before, Bridges has been awesome the past 6 games.

He has 20+ points in 5 of his last 6 games without Chris Paul in the lineup. While I do think he will have plenty of chances to score again tonight, I love his assists even more.

Bridges has 4+ assists in 9 of his last 10 games and that was with and without Paul playing.

He is a much more focal point of the offense right now with Devin Booker still sidelined and that is evident in his playmaking, scoring and facilitating.

For the value and the fact that this has a 90% hit rate in his last 10 games, this is a MUST BET tonight!


Enjoy this NBA action tonight! It’s gonna be fun.
