Top 2023 NBA MLK Day picks
One of the top 2023 MLK Day NBA picks the model recommends: Take the Under in the matchup between the Suns and Grizzlies in Memphis. The Grizzlies have soared toward the top of the Western Conference on the strength of a nine-game winning streak that began after they suffered a 125-108 home loss to the Suns on Dec. 27.
Memphis is sixth in scoring with an average of 117.1 points and has eclipsed that number in each of its last seven contests. Ja Morant is pouring in 27.4 points per game and has recorded at least 32 in four of his last six outings. However, the 23-year-old point guard is questionable for Monday's matchup due to soreness in his left hip.
Phoenix has averaged 112.7 points, but has struggled to reach that mark of late. The Suns have scored 104 points or fewer on seven occasions while going 1-8 in their last nine contests. The team has been without leading scorer Devin Booker (27.1 points) since Christmas Day due to a groin injury and has had a different player top the team in points in each of its last six games.
