Last season, the Grizzlies improved drastically, and reached a record of 40-42, a 16 game improvement from the year before. Zach Randolph exploded last year, making his first all star team. This summer the team signed Rudy Gay to a max contract, signaling their committment to him as one of the leagues rising stars. There’s no reason not to expect the Grizzlies to finish above .500 this season, as their chemistry continues to get better and they make their ascent into the better teams in the Western Conference. Had they been in the east last year, they would have been a 5 or 6 seed probably, but the rugged Western Conference poses challenges for even the pretty decent teams like the Grizz.
The Phoenix Suns made a few changes in the offseason. Primarily, they lost Amar’e Stoudemire in free agency, something they expected, but will undoubtedly hurt the Suns tremendously. They acquired the malcontent Hedo Turkoglu in an off season trade and are hoping he experiences a rebirth in Phoenix after struggling mightily in Toronto last year. Steve Nash is still at the helm, and the Suns will still be exciting, but it’s hard to imagine them replicating last season’s success.

The Sacramento Kings have a wealth of young talent, and recently signaled a change in philosophy by dealing Kevin Martin for Carl Landry. This move solidified their committment to Tyreke Evans as the cornerstone of their franchise. They were fortunate enough to land DeMarcus Cousins this offseason in the draft, who promises to be a significant part of the franchise for years to come. While Sacramento may not make the playoffs this year, they promise to be an improved team and should be a fun one to watch, as Evans and Cousins grow together to form part of the Kings’ new nucleus. Here are some player prop bets from Bodog Sportsbook.
