Game Recap
Phoenix's visit to Memphis came in against a 231.5 market total that appeared vulnerable from the jump. The Suns and Grizzlies combined for 53 points in the first quarter—a start that signaled a slower pace than the line anticipated. That caution intensified in the second, when the two teams poured in 59 combined points, the game's highest-scoring frame, but the combined output remained well below the clip needed to push past the pregame number. By halftime, 112 combined points had been scored; the under was tracking comfortably. The second half proved even quieter. A sluggish third quarter yielded just 47 combined points, and while the fourth picked up slightly to 56, the final combined total of 215 landed well short of 231.5—a 16.5-point miss to the downside. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.
The Suns dominated the scoreboard despite a quiet individual performance from star Devin Booker, who finished with 13 points and 8 assists. Dillon Brooks led Phoenix with 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists, while Grayson Allen added 19 points. Memphis stayed within reach through most of the contest but couldn't generate enough offensive firepower. Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 19 points and grabbed 4 rebounds, and Javon Small contributed 14 points with 7 assists, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's 14 points weren't quite enough to close the gap as the Suns' defense tightened in the final frame. Memphis' recent form—averaging 119.2 points scored per game over its last ten—evaporated under Phoenix's pressure, a marked shift from the teams' last meeting in late October, which totaled 227 points.
