Grizzlies vs Suns Picks and Predictions: Grizz Rebound Against ... (Covers.com)

NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Memphis Grizzlies at Phoenix Suns on December 23. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.

Phoenix is the much better 3-point shooting side but is missing two of its better shooters (three if Cameron Johnson doesn’t dress). That could mean fewer turnovers for the 13th-ranked Grizzlies but it will affect their total. That’s a huge edge for Memphis and one I don’t want to miss out on. Both Adams and Clarke have defensive ratings below the 110.6 league average, and I don’t believe Phoenix can win without an Ayton monster. Phoenix struggled against a poor Washington defense, and Memphis will give the Suns all they can handle. That’s less than ideal, and I expect Memphis to cover the number. Memphis is the best rebounding team in the game with a distinct edge on both ends. [NBA betting trends](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/matchup/trends/270514) for Grizzlies vs. Morant scored 35 points and added 10 dimes in their Tuesday night loss to Denver and is shooting 34% from downtown. They haven’t looked very efficient but have a terrific bounce-back opportunity against the injury-riddled Suns. [Dillon Brooks](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/448/dillon-brooks) is the Grizzlies third-leading scorer and a solid nucleus for Memphis to draw from along with center [Steven Adams](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/1282/steven-adams) and [Jaren Jackson Jr](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/5573/jaren-jackson-jr.) [.](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/5573/jaren-jackson-jr.) as long as second-leading scorer Desmond Bane remains sidelined. [Deandre Ayton](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/5601/deandre-ayton) becomes the de facto leading scorer without Booker, with [Chris Paul](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/1771/chris-paul) and [Mikal Bridges](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/4181/mikal-bridges) to help pick up the slack for the sixth-best scoring team in the NBA.

That is a start contrast from how they defend threes at home, and creates a hard obstacle to overcome for a Grizzlies offense that is league average at shooting threes themselves on the road. In other words, the main key for Memphis is that they will have to defend the perimeter the entire game. Finding the best shot possible, finding success in the paint, and moving the basketball will be key to getting off to a better start. This is critical in tonight's game as, even without Devin Booker in four of the past five games, the Suns are top ten in the NBA in three-pointers per game and 3P% in the month of December. They will need that mentality again tonight, along with a strong start and good defense to get a big win. That makes a key difference in the Grizzlies ability to succeed, as they are a team that highly benefits from getting early leads in games. When the Grizzlies are on the road, they allow opponents to make 15 threes per game and shoot 40.1% from three. Furthermore, Memphis’s early season inconsistencies on the road are an area of clear opportunity to improve. Of course, the Grizzlies have to overcome their own struggles along with playing a very talented team. It has been nearly six weeks since Bane played for the Grizzlies, and at the level he was playing, he will be welcomed back with open arms to pair with Ja Morant as one of the best offensive tandems in the league. The Grizzlies currently are tied atop the Western Conference with the Denver Nuggets while the Suns currently sit one game behind in the fourth spot. After winning seven of eight games, they then lost five of six, follow that stretch up with three straight wins, and then lost their last game against the Wizards.

Without Booker, the Suns struggle to create offense. Without Booker, the Suns struggle to create efficient offense. Since 2021-2022, when Booker doesn’t play, the Suns are 10-12 straight up and 6-12 against the spread, according to Statmuse. The content on this page is for informational purposes only. We may be compensated for the links provided on this page. and Ziaire Williams have also missed significant time, so Memphis has relied on role players to perform on the road, a tough ask. However, when Booker sits, that Offensive Rating plummets to 111.5, which would be the 23rd-best in that time frame. Players like John Konchar and Santi Aldama have been solid contributors, but nothing to the degree of Melton. No matter what injuries get thrown the Grizzlies way, they always seem to find a way to weather the storm. Losing De’Anthony Melton was a blow to the Grizzlies depth as he provided a scoring spark off the bench. Let’s look at the odds and offer up a betting prediction. Memphis’ Jekyll-and-Hyde personality was persistent even before the loss of Bane, who went down just two games before Jaren Jackson Jr.
