NBA - 509 Memphis Grizzlies @ 510 Phoenix Suns
Projected lines: 193 points | Memphis by 8 points
Phoenix
is coming from a huge loss at Portland, where after a close first
quarter, the Blazers opened up a can of
revenge, using strong defense and hot shooting to leave the Suns
demoralized and defeated by 38 points The main reason for the Suns huge
loss was that Portland by being a physical team, completely outmuscled
the Suns: second chance points: Portland 19, Phoenix 0, Assists:
Portland 28, Phoenix 18 e Rebounds: Portland 58, Phoenix 41! The Suns
were horrible from the outside, with 4-24 FG from 16-23 feet and 4-13
3pts! The key factor for that was that McMillan pointed to Batum's ball
pressure on Nash as the key.
"It starts with the pressure on the ball," he said. I thought it started
with Raymond picking up full court and then when Nic came in, as
opposed to having Crawford up there, we went with Batum on the ball. I
thought tonight he played Nash as well as he's played him in the last
few years."
We can expect a bounce back from the Suns in terms of
effort, but with Memphis also fired up, the Grizzlies will offer
exactly the same problems that Portland gave to Phoenix, as they are far
more athletic than the Suns. Phoenix has been having problems with the
turnovers with 20, 15, 23, 19, 15 and 22! Memphis is the best team in
the league in creating turnovers and today they will certainly put a lot
of pressure on Nash! Memphis may get a bit exposed by the good shooting
of Phoenix, but the athletic edge will be evident on the offensive end.
Memphis will surely run tonight to explore the physical edge, while
it has been reported that Phoenix will change their starting lineup wirh
Frye starting again. Memphis is the better team and even though Phoenix
will bounce back after yesterday's humiliation, the Grizzlies are also
0-2 on their last 2 games and they will also be fired up tonight. I
expect a good win for the Grizzlies on a good offensive game by both
teams and so, I'll take both Memphis and the over in here.
