Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies NBA Preview
The Grizzlies will play their fourth game in six days, after losing twice to the Lakers last Friday and Sunday, and narrowly beating the Spurs yesterday.
Our Bet Labs "Fading Tired Home Teams" system accounts for this and recommends backing Phoenix to cover the spread against Memphis tonight.
The Suns will come into this game after resting on Tuesday, and with two wins in their last three games.
They beat the Kings by 27 points last Friday and the Thunder by three on Sunday before losing to the Rockets by three on Monday.
Phoenix is 7-3 in their last 10 games, so it's a great spot to back them against the spread.
Suns vs Grizzlies Predictions, Analysis
This system fades NBA home teams that are fatigued, facing visiting teams with fresher legs and fewer games recently played.
Home-court advantage diminishes when the home team is running on fumes, particularly against an opponent whose last game was close (i.e., not a blowout win/loss), limiting motivational or emotional edge.
Pick: Suns -3.5
