Moneyline

The Suns have lost 2 games in a row after winning 7 straight. They already beat Memphis 110-89 at home Nov. 24.

The Grizzlies have scored 100 or fewer points in 4 of their last 6 games.

But betting the Suns on the moneyline isn't worth the action, having to wager 4 times what you can win.

PASS.
