The Memphis Grizzlies will travel to Phoenix, Arizona to face the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center with the game tipping off at 8:00 PM ET on Sunday night.

Memphis has struggled this season and has even struggled with the return of Ja Morant as they enter this game with the 3^rd worst record in the Western Conference at 12-23, however, they have won two of their last three games including Friday’s 127-113 win on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers.
