Memphis Grizzlies – Phoenix Suns – Betting Tips 30.01.2018

Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis Grizzlies have 17 wins and 31 defeats, 12 wins and 15 defeats on their own floor. Bad news was announced over the weekend that, in addition to Evans and Gasol, their best player, playmaker Conley, will miss the rest of the season as he has to undergo surgery. For several months he has been trying to recover from a serious injury, but in the end it was decided that an operation is necessary. The most expensive Grizzlies player so played this season only 12 matches, scoring 17.1 points and 4.1 assists on average.
This move automatically reduces the chances of qualifying for the playoffs, especially as Green, Parsons, McLemore and Ennis III fail, while the team’s best shooter, Evans, missed the last match against the Clippers due to illness. In the duel against the Clippers, Gasol scored his fourth triple-double in his career, and it’s interesting that in Memphis’ history, no one but him has scored more than two triple-doubles. So much speaks against Memphis in this duel against the Suns, but they are still considered easy favorites in this match.

Phoenix Suns
The Suns have celebrated twice this season against Memphis, both on their own floor. In the first match they celebrated 97:95 and in the second 99:97. Both duels were very uncertain and not very efficient, especially as far as the Suns are concerned, because they score an average of 105 points this season, while conceding about 112 counter points. Daniels won the first match 17 seconds before the final whistle, while in the second match Centar Chandler was the deciding player who scored the winner with the final whistle. In the two duels, the opponent was not allowed to shine from the three-point line (19.2% and 15%).
Before this match in Memphis, they conceded four defeats in a row. Overall, they have 17 wins and 33 losses on the account. In the last eleven matches, they have only won two duels (against Denver and Oklahoma City) in their own favor. The defense is very holey and so they collected on average over 112 counter points per match. The only bright spot of this team is brilliant shooter Booker, but apparently he also needs great support from his teammates, so that the Suns finally shoot from the table cellar.
