Phoenix has been playing without injured leading scorer Devin Booker, but there is still ample star power with Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton. The Suns are also Top 10 in the NBA defensively in points allowed, while the offense is eighth in field goal shooting and seventh from long range. Phoenix has split its last six games and nearly won at Denver in the last game as a +4 dog. They lost in overtime, 128-125, with Paul getting 17 points and 16 assists, while Anton chipped in 22 points with 16 rebounds. Memphis is in a tough situational spot returning home from a four-game West Coast trip. They lost three of the four, including at Golden State in the last game, 123-109, as 7.5-point favorites. Memphis is the worst team in the NBA from the free throw line (71%) and the visitors are more than capable of pulling the upset. Play Phoenix on the moneyline.
