The Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies hook up in Memphis on Wednesday night in a game that could have major implications in the NBA's jostling for front-row position at this spring's draft lottery.
The Suns (18-44) and Grizzlies (18-41) were two of five teams who began play Tuesday tied for the fewest wins in the league. Orlando (18-42), Atlanta (18-43) and Sacramento (18-42) were the others.
The Suns have the second-hardest remaining schedule among the five, with their 20 remaining opponents having a cumulative .534 winning percentage. Only the Hawks (.547) have a tougher remaining slate.
