Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies: prediction for the NBA match
If we look at the statistics of the last 20 head-to-head meetings of these rivals, we will see the following: Memphis has 13 wins and Phoenix has 7. But last season it was Phoenix who won 2 matches out of three played in the regular season (128:97 away and 122:99 at home). Memphis had only a 108:104 home win. As for their game this season (November 13 in Memphis), it ended with a score of 94:119 in favor of the Suns.
Phoenix Suns
The Los Angeles team is slowly crumbling, although there are plenty of reasons for that. First, Kawai Leonard’s injury shocked him and now Paul George is also out of the cage. So far, the team is holding on to fifth place in the Western Conference and this is still a good result. In the last meeting, the Clippers hosted their neighbor Denver, who was already breathing in their back. The hosts started very actively and aggressively, but there were a lot of defects in the game, so the rival was ahead by a couple of points. It seemed that after the third quarter a turning point would come, but in the end Tyrone Lew’s charges failed (100:103). “Sailboats” remain at the home arena, as “Brooklyn” comes to visit, which does not bode well either. The only good news is that the opponent will appear on the floor with a far from optimal composition, so you can compete.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies try to stay among the leaders of the West and not force events. The team is far from the top three, so it remains to leave behind the Clippers and Denver. Memphis last meeting ended in victory, as Taylor Jenkins’ charges defeated Sacramento (127:102) away. The guests simply left no chances to their opponents and Desmond Bane became one of the best on the floor, as he eventually scored 28 points. In the next confrontation, the “bears” will face a battle with “Phoenix”, which is more motivated than ever.
Prediction
The Phoenix players clearly do not plan to give the first place in the Western Conference to the Warriors, so after the defeat they will try to give a series of victories. On the one hand, the Grizzlies are a suitable opponent for this, but on the other they are not. Memphis is doing great away, especially against the Sunshine. Taylor Jenkins' team is clearly not afraid of the Suns and is capable of repelling a competitor even at the Footprint Center arena. In our opinion, the "bears" will not let themselves be defeated. Our prediction is a handicap (+11.5) points on Memphis Grizzlies for coefficient 1.60 in BC 1xBet. Of course, from such confrontations you expect only a spectacle, however, the teams themselves know how to act on the attack. We assume that the opponents will not let us get bored and the total will be broken. Second bet is for the total over 215.5 points for 1.62. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.60.
