Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns are pretty much locked into the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference ahead of the lay-in tournament, as they’re four games out of the No. 6 spot but have a solid cushion over the Los Angeles Clippers (No. 8).
Now, Phoenix is heavily favored on the road against a tanking Memphis Grizzlies team that has one of the crazier injury reports that you’ll see this season:
Ja Morant – outZach Edey – outSanti Aldama – outKentavious Caldwell-Pope – outBrandon Clarke – outWalter Clayton Jr. – questionableTaj Gibson – doubtfulDejon Jarreau – questionableTy Jerome – outJahmai Mashack – availableScotty Pippen Jr. – outJaylen Wells – outJavon Small – doubtfulOlivier-Maxence Prosper – doubtful
So, who exactly will be out there for Memphis?
Not a ton of usual rotation players, meaning the Suns should cruise to their 42nd win over the 2025-26 season. Phoenix has outplayed expectations this season, but it is just 16th in the league in net rating, so it may not make much noise in the playoffs against some of the elite teams in the West.
Let’s dive into Monday’s game, with a betting preview equipped with the odds, a player prop and my prediction.

In today’s best NBA props column for SI Betting, I broke down why this is a great matchup for Booker:
Devin Booker is averaging 6.0 assists per game and just 5.5 assists per night in the month of March, but he’s cleared this prop in four games in a row.
Now, he takes on a Memphis Grizzlies team that is 21st in the NBA in opponent assists per game and 26th in defensive rating since the All-Star break. The Grizzlies allowed Booker to pick up eight assists in their last meeting.
Booker is averaging 12.4 potential assists per game this season, which gives him a really solid floor when it comes to this prop. Memphis is also allowing over 123 points per game since the break, so the Suns should be able to score at will on Monday.
I like getting the All-Star guard at his season average on Monday, even though it means laying a little more juice.
Suns vs. Grizzlies Prediction and Pick
At this point in the season, the spread for a game has to be egregious if anyone is going to consider backing a tanking team.
The Grizzlies are 23rd in net rating (-8.6) since the All-Star break, and they’ve fallen to 10-12 against the spread when set as home dogs in the 2025-26 campaign.
Meanwhile, the Suns are an NBA-best 11-2 against the spread when favored on the road, posting an average scoring margin of +9.5 points in those games.
The Suns are just 4-6 in their last 10, but this is a perfect spot for them to rebound after some tough losses to Denver, San Antonio and Minnesota.
Pick: Suns -12.5 (-115 at DraftKings)
