Grizzlies vs Nuggets prediction
The Nuggets could obviously take the Grizzlies behind the woodshed if they really wanted to. However, the Nuggets have been on cruise control for the last month or so, where they do just enough to win the game. The Nuggets have failed to cover 3 of their last 4 games, and 2 of those games were decided by 3 points. The Grizzlies continue to throw out a G League roster, but they've managed to cover 35 games this season. You can make money picking your spots with the Grizzlies. Also, the Nuggets have the Suns and Timberwolves on deck. I doubt Denver is champing at the bit to beat up on the Grizzlies. Give me the points with Memphis on the road.
