Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis to Cover $1.90

The Grizzlies look to continue a strong run of form when they travel to Phoenix to take on the Suns.

The Grizz are 8-2 across their last 10 games, and leading the league in points per game (124.0).

Meanwhile, the Suns are 15-16 on the season, 3-7 across their last 10 games and sitting outside of the Western Conference play-in bracket.

I’m backing Memphis to come into the Footprint Center and complete a snatch and grab job against the out-of-sorts Suns.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Cleveland Cavaliers
Cavs to cover $1.90

The Cavs continue a tough road trip when they travel to the Crypto.com Arena to take on the Lakers.

Cleveland were 24-point victors the last time this pair met in late October, with Mobley, Allen and Mitchell all scoring 20+ points.

The Cavs are 4-2 against the spread when entering a game with a rest disadvantage, and 5-0 ATS with no rest at all.

The 2nd game day in a row should not phase the young Cavs squad, rather enable them to build on a purple patch form.
