Stephen Nover's 10-Dime Big Monday Crusher
(NBA) Memphis vs. Phoenix, 02/02/2015 4:00 PM, Score: 102 - 101
Point Spread: -2.00 | -111.00 Memphis (Away)
Result: Loss
The guard-oriented, finesse Suns are not a good matchup against the physical, rugged Grizzlies, who are playing their finest defense of the season.




Phoenix has lost six in a row to Memphis, including twice this season by an average of 11.5 points although one game did go into overtime.




The Grizzlies have won 10 of their last 11, including six straight. They are giving up only 82.6 points per game during their last six games. In their last two games, the Grizzlies held Oklahoma City to 74 points and Denver to 69.




Phoenix only managed 87 points against Golden State in its last game this past Saturday at home during a 19-point loss. The Warriors rank No. 1 defensively. Memphis is No. 2 defensively.




The Grizzlies are a solid 14-7 on the road with a winning away spread mark. The Suns are just a .500 team versus the spread at home.
