Phoenix at Memphis

A young Phoenix team is playing hard, as evidenced by a 106-104 loss to Portland Saturday as a +6.5 dog. They have a rising star in shooting guard Devin Booker, averaging 31.3 points over the last four games. He had 40 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in Monday's loss at New Orleans. He sat out a 120-109 loss at Memphis last month but is back for this one. Memphis is favored but a mess, riding a 10-game skid. Each of its three losses since the All-Star break have been by 11 points or more. Grizzlies guard Tyreke Evans (ribs) missed the last two games and is not expected to play. Memphis is last in the NBA in scoring, #27 in three-point shooting, and 7-16-1 ATS playing on one day of rest. Take Phoenix.
