Memphis Grizzlies vs Phoenix Suns Betting Odds & Spreads - May 13, 2022
The Warriors are being favored in this matchup because of the home advantage they have coming into this game. They have not put up convincing performances in the series, but considering the quality of players the Dubs have, they are expected to close things out in Game 6 at the Chase Center.
The Grizzlies have done well playing without Ja Morant. But considering the experience the Warriors have on their roster, they should not have a problem trying to defeat the Grind City team.
