What to Know
The Phoenix Suns haven’t won a game against the Memphis Grizzlies since Nov. 12 of last year, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Tuesday. Phoenix will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to FedExForum at 8 p.m. ET. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
The Suns fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 128-125. Shooting guard Landry Shamet put forth a good effort for the losing side as he shot 7-for-17 from beyond the arc and finished with 31 points and six assists.
Meanwhile, it looks like Memphis must have gotten on Santa’s naughty list since the team didn’t end up with the win they were expected to receive on Sunday. They took a hard 123-109 fall against the Golden State Warriors. Small forward Dillon Brooks had a pretty forgettable game, picking up five fouls and turning the ball over five times en route to a 4-for-12, 13-point finish.
The Suns are expected to lose this next one by 7.5. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn’t have high expectations for them since the squad is 1-3 ATS when expected to lose.
Phoenix is now 19-15 while Memphis sits at 20-12. Phoenix is 7-7 after losses this year, the Grizzlies 7-4.
