Prediction
The Grizzlies struggled in their road trip losing 3 of their 4 games away from home but they return home where they have lost only 2 of 15 games so far this season. The Suns will be shorthanded again without Booker, Shamet and Payne due to injuries. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games on the road and are only 6-14 in their last 20 games when playing on the road against Memphis. I'm going with the Grizzlies to win and cover.
PICK: Grizzlies -6.5 (-110)
