PHX PG Steve Nash is questionable for Tuesday's game due to getting back spasms against the Thunder on Monday night. More likely Nash is not expected to play. Can the Grizzlies take advantage of this and not screw it up like the last gameagainst the T'Wolves?

If that's the case, then the Grizz might have a chance at this one - provided Amare and Shaq don't go for 70 and 30 (together).

Hamed Haddadi should be playing tonight.

Stevie Franchise might also get some run as well.

Shaq might not play as it is the second game in a back to back for Phoenix?

This is the type of game where the Grizz get behind by some absurd amount then come back and win because the team is depleted by injuries.

Hence Amare wil probably go for 36 points and 18 boards, and Jason Richardson 24 points

Grizzly win 115 Phoenix 108

Hey all

Nash is definitely out tonight

I think we'll roll out Barbosa at point, or possibly bring Barnes in and play Hill at the 1
Might even help our D that Nash is out...Mayo should go off like Westbrook did yesterday

Cheers and good luck
