Game Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies might have the No.1 offense in the league, but without Ja Morant, they aren’t as lethal as usual. This team lost to the top team in the Western Conference, OKC Thunder 130-106, being inferior throughout the entire event.

Morant will be doubtful for this one, though, according to all sources, his AC joint injury will prevent him from appearing in Phoenix this Tuesday night.

Devin Booker’s chances of playing are a bit better, and the All-Star shooting guard should be in the protocol. Though, that’s not certain and the medical staff will make a decision ahead of the game.

Suns are 1-5 in the past six games, losing the previous two to the Dallas Mavericks at home, 99-98, and the Golden State Warriors, 109-105. The main problem is that apart from Kevin Durant, there is no other player able to step up and score in the crucial moments.

Grizzlies vs. Suns Head to Head

There haven’t been any matches between these teams so far in the current campaign.

Grizzlies vs. Suns Prediction

Both teams are banged up, and won’t have several players. Grizzlies are probably without Morant, while Santi Aldama, Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke won’t play for sure. On the other hand, Jusuf Nurkic is suspended, while Grayson Allen, too, isn’t sure to appear. Overall, we would bet on the Suns here due to the home-court edge.
