Memphis Grizzlies vs. Phoenix Suns
Time: 9 p.m. ET
TV: NBA League Pass
The Phoenix Suns have battled injuries early this season, with Kevin Durant, Grayson Allen, and Bradley Beal all missing time. Still, Durant has been excellent in his last two outings, topping 30 points in both games.
He now faces a Memphis Grizzlies defense that sits outside the top 20 in points allowed and second-chance points at his position, and is 27th in points allowed to small forwards. A strong performance by Durant is crucial for Phoenix’s success and improves their odds of securing a much-needed win.
On the other side, Grizzlies PF Jaren Jackson Jr. appears to have a favorable matchup on paper against a Suns team that ranks 28th in total rebounds per game. However, Jackson’s rebound projection of 7.5 is unusually high for him — he has only exceeded eight rebounds in 5 of 31 games this season (around 16% success rate).
Given Phoenix’s scoring prowess and the likelihood of fewer rebound opportunities, Memphis may find it challenging to come away with a victory on the road.

NBA DFS Picks Today for PrizePicks
Below, you’ll find the best NBA DFS picks today for PrizePicks for the NBA Tuesday games.
Spurs F Julian Champagnie 6.5 Points — More
Spurs F Julian Champagnie has eclipsed his 6.5-point projection in 27-of-32 games this season. He faces a Los Angeles Clippers team that ranks outside the top 15 in points allowed to small forwards and outside the top 20 in opponent three-point percentage at that position.
Notably, in Champagnie’s last 10 games where he played at least 12 minutes, he has surpassed his points projection each time.
Celtics F-C Kristaps Porzingis 16.5 Points — More
Since returning from injury, Kristaps Porzingis has consistently crushed his 16.5-points projection, scoring 16 or more points in 9 of 11 games this season. In the only two contests where he failed to exceed 15.5 points, he played fewer than 14 minutes — essentially outlier performances.
The Raptors defense ranks among the league’s worst against centers, allowing an average of 24 points (25th in the NBA) and 15 points in the paint (22nd) per game, setting the stage for another strong showing from Porzingis.
Cavs C Jarrett Allen 10 Rebounds — More
Cavs C Jarrett Allen is averaging 10 rebounds per game this season, and he’ll face a Los Angeles Lakers squad that ranks 30th in rebounds allowed to opposing centers (17 per game).
In fact, Allen has exceeded 10 rebounds in each of his last five matchups against the Lakers dating back to 2022. Furthermore, he’s posted double-digit rebound opportunities in each of his last five contests, solidifying his reputation as one of the league’s most reliable rebounders.
