Grizzlies vs Suns Analysis
*All lines provided by DraftKings
The Grizzlies will host the Suns tonight, and the Grizzlies are throwing this game away by benching some big name guys.
It makes sense as their seed is locked in pretty much so if you’re going to sit out a game might as well have it against the best team in the league. We’ll look at this game from a Team and Player prop perspective now that we have an idea who’s playing.
Grizzlies vs Suns Team Totals
The Suns will be at 118.5 for a team total and Memphis will be at 110.5. My guess is that this game will be free flowing, and the bench players for Memphis will play hard, but Phoenix will be too much for them.
I’ll take a pass on Memphis’s team total as I don’t know what to expect, but I’ll take the over on Phoenix points.
The starters will put up a lot of points, and the bench doesn’t let up, so don’t be surprised if the Suns bench propels this over their team total in the 4th.
Team Total Prop: Suns Over 118.5
Grizzlies vs Suns Player Props
A couple games ago the Celtics sat all starters except for Marcus Smart, and he had a huge stats game. Dillon Brooks is the only starter left for Memphis, so in the same mindset I’ll take Brooks over 27.5 PRA as he’s the only big name left.
He’s scored 19 or more points in five straight games, and last game he had 31 PRA so with him being the last starter he should get more stats.
For Phoenix, Mikal Bridges is synonymous with big minutes played and he’s the one guy tonight that I don’t expect to sit in a shootout.
For that reason I’ll take him over 15.5 points. He’s gone over in four out of five, and when the Suns rotate bench guys in don’t be surprised if Bridges still plays over 35 minutes. With that many opportunities, take his points over.
Player Prop: Dillon Brooks Over 27.5 PRA
Grizzlies vs Suns Same Game Parlay
Grizzlies are throwing this game away, the Suns should happily take the win. Brooks consistently gets to around 20 points, and with him being the main guy tonight he should easily get over 15 points.
Bridges will most likely play the most minutes tonight, and CP3 and Devin Booker could take it easy tonight setting up for a nice game from him.
Same Game Prop Parlay Play:
Suns Money Line
Dillon Brooks 15+ Points
Mikal Bridges 15+ Points
+119
