(O/U) 221½   
November 25, 9:00 PM ET

Parting ways with Allen Iverson seems to be a winning formula these days.

After separating themselves from Iverson in a short-live stint with the team, the Memphis Grizzlies (5-9 SU, 7-7 ATS, 8-6 O/U) have played some excellent basketball, winning four of their last five games.

The Grizz will visit a Phoenix Suns (11-3 SU, 8-6 ATS, 6-7-1 O/U) squad that has looked very god all season long after getting back to the up-tempo style of play that made them perennial title contenders under the direction of maestro point guard Steve Nash.

Tonight, the two teams will both be looking to extend their winning ways when they square off at US Airways Center at 9 PM ET.

Key Trends
Grizzlies are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
Suns are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games.
Grizzlies are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Phoenix.

Memphis won and covered the NBA point spread for the fourth time in its last five games by beating the Sacramento Kings 116-105 on Monday night.

Rudy Gay scored a team-high 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Memphis to victory.

The Grizzlies covered the NBA moneyline as 5.5-point home favorites as second-year shooting guard O.J. Mayo added 20 points and sophomore center Marc Gasol chipped in 18. Memphis has gone a solid 5-3 ATS over its last eight games.

411 on the Suns
The Suns destroyed the rebuilding Detroit Pistons 117-91 on Sunday, cashing in for BetUS pro basketball betting members as a 10-point home favorite. Behind Amar'e Stoudemire’s game-high 21 points while Steve Nash added 20 points and nine assists in the win.

Phoenix has won three of its last four games and seven of nine while covering the NBA point spread in six of its last nine games overall.

Analysis: The Suns are averaging 110.4 points per game while the Grizzlies are putting up 101.3 points per contest with both teams allowing just a shade over 105 points per game.

I believe these scoring statistics, along with the game’s key trends, are going to help the Suns pull out the win and narrow cover tonight.

The Grizzlies have been miserable at covering the spread against winning teams this season, going a poor, 0-4 ATS in their last four games against a team with a winning SU record.

Phoenix has been very consistent at cashing in for pro basketball betting members at home this season, going 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games. Memphis has also gone a discouraging 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings against the Suns overall.

The Suns are the pick in this contest BetUS NBA sports betting backers, but it may be a bit closer than expected.
