Memphis Grizzlies
Moneyline Pick: Memphis (-190) - B+

Ja Morant, surging on offense and confirmed on the active Memphis roster, aims to extend the Grizzlies’ ongoing two-game winning streak against a Phoenix squad that has dropped five of their last eight. With the Suns’ lingering concerns over a key starter’s minor ankle issue and the Grizzlies nursing a sore foot for a bench player, both sides will rely on depth to compensate. Historically, Memphis has outdueled Phoenix in crucial conference clashes, which boosts the Grizzlies’ confidence at home. Backing the Grizzlies at -190 offers a solid combination of likelihood and payoff, warranting a B+ rating.

Over/Under Pick: Over 242.5, (+110) - A

Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns march into this contest having dropped six of their last ten, hoping to snap out of their slump against the Memphis Grizzlies, who sit at 39-24 and have won two straight. Both rosters appear close to full strength, with no major injuries reported for Memphis and only a second-unit forward questionable for Phoenix. Historically, these two squads have produced high-scoring affairs in the desert, often pushing totals above 240 points when fully loaded on offense. With Phoenix eager to shake off recent struggles and Memphis’s uptempo style fueling plenty of fast-break buckets, the Over at 242.5 looks appealing for a solid payout. Tagline: Expect a desert shootout under the lights.

Spread Pick: Memphis Grizzlies, -4.5 (-110) - A-

Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies look ready to capitalize on their current two-game winning streak, eager to extend a sturdy home-court advantage over a Phoenix Suns squad struggling through a two-game skid. Memphis has leaned on young depth to remain formidable, particularly against Western Conference rivals they've consistently bested in recent postseason memories. Meanwhile, Phoenix, sitting at 29-34, grapples with Kevin Durant’s questionable status, which could limit the Suns’ firepower if he sits. Though the Grizzlies (39-24) have occasionally faltered at home this season, their recent surge—paired with a proven track record against conference foes—should offer solid returns for those backing Memphis at -4.5. This pick earns an A- for its strong likelihood of success and worthwhile monetary reward if it hits.
