Memphis Grizzlies vs. Denver Nuggets Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies (47-33) and Denver Nuggets (48-32) are all set to square off from Ball Arena in Denver.

The Nuggets have the same fate. However, they have an easier path. They win their next two games, regardless of what happens, they will finish inside the top six and avoid a play-in game.

The Grizzlies are currently 22-18 on the road with a point differential of 5, while the Nuggets have a 4-6 record in their last ten games at home.

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is betting on Denver Nuggets -6.5…

Thomas: “Ideally, the Grizzlies go up early, and I can play the Nuggets live at a better price. However, I’m not exactly sure we get that. The Grizzlies haven’t been great and are coming off a loss last night.

Denver is one of the more difficult places to play on short rest. The Nuggets should take advantage of this.”
