My Prediction
Memphis Grizzlies by 7It's a clash of Western Conference rivals as the Phoenix Suns take on the Memphis Grizzlies. The Suns have a dynamic duo in the form of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, who have been lighting up the scoreboard with 27.5 and 26.3 points per game respectively in the last month. But they've been struggling in the win column, sitting at a disappointing #11 in the Western Conference with a record of 27-30. Their recent results don't inspire confidence either, with more losses than wins in their last five games.
On the other side, we have a third-ranked Memphis Grizzlies team that boasts the likes of Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. No slouches themselves with impressive stats in the last month - Bane chalked up 18.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game while Jackson Jr. wasn't far behind with 22.9 points and 4.7 rebounds. With a solid regular season record of 37-20, the Grizzlies are growling.
History sides with Memphis as well, taking the past five bouts against the Suns. Sure, there was that hiccup back in November 2023, but let's not get hung up on past transgressions.
Looking at their respective standings and recent performances, this game doesn't exactly have "nail-biter" written all over it. A scorching sun can burn, but a rampaging grizzly leaves more than a nasty sunburn.
