Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
The Denver Nuggets have been in terrific form as they’ve won 12 of their first 16 games overall. They will be eager to bounce back in this one after having their two-game win streak halted by the Kings in a 128-123 loss on Saturday. Nikola Jokic led the team with 43 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists on 16 of 28 shooting, Jamal Murray tallied 23 points with nine assists while Cameron Johnson chipped in with 20 points, five rebounds and four assists on seven of 11 shooting.
As a team, the Nuggets shot 49 percent from the field and 14 of 37 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start with 65 points in the first half to take a 13-point lead. But even a big night from Jokic wasn’t enough to get the job done as the Nuggets got just 20 points from their bench players.
Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies are trying their best to move on from their five-game skid as they are now aiming for a third straight victory after sneaking past the Mavericks in a 102-96 road win on Saturday. Santi Aldama led the team with 20 points, eight rebounds and four assists on nine of 17 shooting, Cam Spencer added 17 points with five assists while Zach Edey chipped in with 12 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks.
As a team, the Grizzlies shot just 40 percent from the field and eight of 31 from the 3-point line as they got off to another slow start and finished with their lowest scoring first half this season. Before they opened the third quarter on a 26-13 run to pull ahead and come away with the much-needed road win.

Denver Nuggets vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Nuggets are still slightly shorthanded with Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun and Julian Strawther out, while the Grizzlies have ruled out Ja Morant, Brandon Clarke and Ty Jerome with Jaren Jackson Jr listed as questionable. The Nuggets were on a roll before they got stopped in their tracks by a shock loss on Saturday and they are relatively healthy compared to the Grizzlies who are missing so many key players. Maybe the Grizzlies can hang around in the first half, but in the end I have the Nuggets bouncing back with a comfortable win and cover in this one behind a triple-double from Jokic.
