Command Analysis
Phoenix Suns
USACurrent form
The Suns continue to have a fever, and this greatly affects their position in the standings. Despite the presence of stellar performers, the team can not find their game in any way. In the last match, Phoenix lost to Denver (105-122). The team looked weak in attack, and the defense could not cope with the onslaught of the opponent at all. The only one who tried to change the situation was Devin Booker, who scored 24 points, but his efforts were not enough.
Now Mike Budenholzer's team is outside the top ten of the Western Conference, and the competitors continue to score points. There is a difficult meeting with Memphis ahead, and a defeat could seriously complicate the task of reaching the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bradley Beal and Cody Martin will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Suns have won only one game in their last five games.
Approximate composition: Durant-O'Neill, Richards-Jones, Booker.
Memphis Grizzlies
USACurrent form
The Grizzlies are fighting hard for second place in the Western Conference. The team is playing a stable game, but has to constantly keep a high pace, as the competition at the top of the table is enormous. In the last round, Memphis lost to Oklahoma (112:125). The Thunderbolts demonstrated their strength, while Taylor Jenkins' team failed to cope with the attacking power of their opponent.
Now the Grizzlies will try to rehabilitate themselves in the away match against the unstable Phoenix. Despite the difficult exit, the team is ready to fight for another victory.
Disqualifications and injuries
Marvin Baguley, John Davis and Cam Spencer will not play on the floor due to health problems.
