The Memphis Grizzlies and Phoenix Suns headline Tuesday’s NBA action.
The pregame narrative: I’m hesitant to pick a side in a game between two closely contested teams so I’ll be playing the props market. Picks on Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Desmond Bane make up this +310 SGP.
Check out my Grizzlies vs. Suns same-game parlay predictions for Feb. 11.
Grizzlies vs. Suns predictions
Parlay: Bane 19+ points | Booker 6+ assists | Durant 25+ points (+310)
Bane 19+ points (-150): These teams met recently on Dec. 31, so there’s some data to study.
One thing that didn’t need much analysis is Banes production. The guard scored 31 points on 13-of-25 shooting.
And his play didn’t slow down there. Since the start of 2025, Bane has been averaging 20.9 points on 54.2/43.0/91.9 shooting splits while clearing this line in 12-of-15 games.
He is scoring the ball with elite efficiency and has done damage in this spot before.
Bane’s scored 20-plus in five of his last six games against the Suns dating back to 2023.
SGP legs
Booker 6+ assists (-148): In that late December game, Booker struggled to score but opted to tap into his playmaking and dished out nine dimes.
With 7-foot-4 Zach Edey and former defensive player of the year Jaren Jackson Jr. patrolling the paint, I can see why Booker would have more success as a passer in this matchup.
In the last two seasons, he’s cleared this total in three of four meetings with Memphis.
Booker averages 6.6 assists and has recorded six-plus assists in 26-of-47 games (55.3%).
The Suns will be without Bradley Beal, too. Beal is another ball handler when on the court and his 3.4 assists per game will need to be replaced.
Durant 25+ points (-180): Durant was officially cleared last night to return on Tuesday and I want in on his points prop.
It’s worth noting that when Durant returns from injury, it’s often with a usual workload.
His last stint of missed games was between Dec. 3rd to Dec. 13 and he played 33 minutes in his first game back, dropping 30 points in the process.
In his last game against the Grizzlies, Durant scored 29 points on 11-of-19 shooting.
Memphis has allowed the third-most points (23.8) to small forwards over the past 30 days, per Fantasy Pros.
