The Suns may be flying under the radar, but their recent play has been elite and despite Memphis’ upset win over the Spurs, Phoenix just has more juice.

That was a nice upset last night, Memphis Grizzlies. Guess what it gets you? A back-to-back ending against the Phoenix Suns, one of the hottest teams in the NBA.
My Suns vs. Grizzlies predictions recognize the clear disadvantage Memphis is at.
Let’s get into my NBA picks for the matchup before tip comes at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, January 7.
Suns vs Grizzlies prediction
Suns vs Grizzlies best bet: Suns -5.0 (-110)
While the Phoenix Suns have covered the spread in nine of their last 10 games, including going 3-0 as two-bucket favorites, the Memphis Grizzlies have a schedule disadvantage, playing on the second night of a back-to-back.
That was a great win last night, upsetting the San Antonio Spurs. Memphis survived 30 points from Victor Wembanyama in only 21 minutes. Clearly, the Grizzlies can still compete with anyone.
But Memphis is a flawed team, not only because it is missing Ja Morant. Leaning on Christian Koloko and Javon Small is not a recipe for sustained success, and that should show up against a Phoenix team playing at an underappreciated level.
