Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction & Match Preview - November 12th, 2021 | NBA Season 2021-22
The Memphis Grizzlies will play host to the Phoenix Suns in an exciting Western Conference matchup at the FedExForum Arena on Friday (November 12). A win in this game would be a great boost for both teams, as it would help increase their confidence for the tough run of fixtures coming ahead.
The Memphis Grizzlies come into the game on the back of a disappointing loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Ja Morant scored 32 points on the night, but his efforts were not enough to stop the Grizzlies from falling to a 118-108 loss on the night.
The team will be hoping to get a better result against the Suns. However, they will need to play some amazing basketball to overcome the stiff challenge the Suns bring to the table.
Meanwhile, the Suns enter the match on the back of another impressive win. They defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 119-109 to get to their seventh win of the season.
Frank Kaminsky was the star of the night for the Suns as he came off the bench and scored 31 points to help the team to their sixth consecutive win.

Suns vs Grizzlies Match Prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies have been a much-improved side this season. They have secured some stunning victories against teams like the Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers and the Denver Nuggets.
With Ja Morant performing the way he has this season, the Grizzlies certainly have a chance to defeat the Phoenix Suns on Friday. But the Suns, on current form, will start the game as marginal favorites.
