The Memphis Grizzlies are looking to make it three straight wins over the Phoenix Suns when they face off at FedEx Forum tonight. They’ve already beaten the Suns twice in Phoenix this season, and now they’re bringing that momentum back home.
Tip-off is set for 8:00 p.m. ET, with local coverage on FDSSE and AZFamily.
The Grizzlies enter as 8-point favorites, and there’s good reason for that confidence. They’re sitting pretty in third place in the Western Conference, just half a game behind the Denver Nuggets for the second seed.
It’s been a different story for Phoenix.
The Suns are struggling to even make the playoffs, currently stuck in 11th place and two games behind Sacramento for the final play-in spot. Their star trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal just hasn’t clicked โ they’ve barely been on the court together all season.
Making matters worse, Phoenix has the NBA’s toughest remaining schedule. There’s already talk that the front office might blow up the roster this summer and start fresh.
The injury report isn’t doing either team any favors. The Grizzlies will be without Zyon Pullin (knee), while the Suns are missing Cody Martin (abdomen) and might not have Monte Morris (back) either.
Memphis has hit a small rough patch, dropping three of their last four games. But this five-game homestand couldn’t come at a better time.
They’ve already beaten Phoenix by a combined 12 points in their two meetings this season. Now, with home court advantage and a chance to strengthen their playoff position, the Grizzlies are looking to make it a clean sweep.
For fans wanting to catch the action, the game is available to stream free on Jazz Sports.
