Randy’s Pick
The Memphis Grizzlies are coming off a beat down victory over the Lakers last night, and maybe that has some carry over to this contest. There are a lot of teams that haven’t been able to score in the summer league, but it doesn’t get any worse than the Phoenix Suns. Just awful, and I doubt things get better on the end of a back to back. I’ll lay the chalk with the Grizzlies.
