Only yesterday the Suns were able to defeat the equally strong Warriors and were able to draw from the full with Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, Jae Crowder and Mikael Bridges.
The Grizzlies, on the other hand, behave like a headless chicken that keeps running anyway. Because even though their best man, Ja Morant, will be out until the start of the playoffs, the Dark Blues continue to win game after game.
In the end it was the Spurs who had to give way! But the razor-thin 120:119 victory against the mediocre franchise from Texas already shows that a really strong opponent with a full squad like the Suns can definitely beat the home side in this composition.
“Offense wins games, defense wins championships” is an old phrase in basketball, but it has lost little of its truth over the years – and in fact I believe that it is perfectly suited to making a valid Grizzlies Suns prediction .
Because when the going gets tough, I trust the strong defense of the guests more than the offensive qualities of the Grizziles. Although they scored the most points in the league, it should not be forgotten at this point that the main driver is injured.
The Suns, on the other hand, point loudly the official NBA statistics after the Celtics, the league’s best 106.5 defensive rating. Especially in this starting five with which they defeated the Warriors yesterday, there is no real weak point.
