The Phoenix Suns will be going to Memphis to square off against a high-flying Memphis Grizzlies. The two teams are 1-1, this season head-to-head and go into their 3rd game. The Grizzlies are electric at the moment and need some stopping. They currently have the longest streak going on, being on a 9-game unbeaten streak.
The Suns are a heavily injured team, and rescue is far for them this season. They are a shadow of their last season’s dominance. They are in a dismal form and are 11th in the West. Whereas, the Grizzlies are 2nd in the table, and winning their last 9 games in 10. It will be exciting to see how both teams will line up going into tonight’s game.
Ja Morant is questionable for the Memphis Grizzlies vs Phoenix Suns game tonight
The Grizzlies cruised passed the Indiana Pacers in their last game, and Morant dropped a double-double on them. Morant is listed as day-to-day and is questionable for the Suns game due to hip soreness. This will not a huge worry for the Grizzlies who will be going up against a short-handed Suns side.

The Memphis Grizzlies will win against a short-handed Phoenix Suns
The Grizzlies will make it a 10-game streak against the Suns tonight. It is unfortunate for the Suns to be plagued with the number of injuries they are dealing with. However, in their last two meetings, the Grizzlies won their first game, 125-100. The Suns took the second game, 125-108. The Grizzlies have maintained their form, unlike the Suns. They will be looking to replicate the result against Suns like last time out against the Pacers.
Tonight’s game will be their third meeting between the teams from the West and the Grizzlies will be easy winners. Injuries to Booker, CP3, and Jae Crowder are serious blows for the Suns’ season. It has been difficult for the Suns to get a winning run without their stars. We expect the Grizzlies to take the game tonight. let us know who you think will win tonights Suns-Grizzlies game.
