The Suns look to stay afloat in the Western Conference playoff race as they host the Grizzlies Monday night (9:05 p.m. ET). Keep an eye on the Suns' turnovers, as Phoenix is just 1-5 this season when committing 20-plus turnovers.
Line: Grizzlies -2.5, Total 204.5 (check The Linemakers on Sporting News' odds page for current NBA spreads and totals ).
AccuScore has the Suns as 60.3 percent favorites to win, a forecast that translates into money-line odds of about -150. The +135 price on Phoenix at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook offers plenty of value.
The average score after 10,000-plus simulations is 102-100, and there’s a 54.4 percent chance the total combined score stays UNDER 205. Should the total get back to that number, the UNDER is a three-star (out of three) AccuScore hot trend. AccuScore's best bet, though, is on the side.
AccuScore best bet: There's about a 67 percent chance Phoenix covers a +2.5 spread, a three-star AccuScore hot trend. In the past week, AccuScore is 31-22 when predicting NBA games by the point spread (58.5 percent, +680 units).
AccuScore simulated box score: Phoenix makes about twice as many three-pointers in simulations than does Memphis.
