The Memphis Grizzlies play host to the Denver Nuggets once again at the FedExForum on Tuesday night. Here’s a Denver Nuggets vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction. This article will include a Denver Nuggets vs Memphis Grizzlies Pick.
Denver NuggetsÂ
The Denver Nuggets look to have cooled off from their five-game win streak as they are now looking to avoid a third straight defeat after getting thrashed by the Grizzlies in a 105-90 road defeat on Sunday. Julian Strawther led the team with 19 points off the bench, Jamal Murray and Christian Braun scored 13 points each while Russell Westbrook chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Nuggets shot just 41 percent from the field and 10 of 31 from the 3-point line as they struggled to find their offense right away and scored just 18 points in the second before things really got ugly in the third quarter where they trailed by 24 points at one stage. The Nuggets will face the Mavericks and Lakers following this one.
Memphis GrizzliesÂ
Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies have been in decent form as they’ve won six of their last nine games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after blowing past the shorthanded Nuggets on Sunday. Jaren Jackson Jr led the team with 20 points, six rebounds, and three blocks, Jaylen Wells added 15 points while Desmond Bane chipped in with 11 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 45 percent from the field and 13 of 39 from the 3-point line, but this win was set up by their effort on defense as they came out with a level of urgency and kept the Nuggets to just 39 points in the second and third quarters combined to pull away and win comfortably despite missing a list of players due to injury.Â

Denver Nuggets vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Nuggets could be shorthanded again with Nikola Jokic still listed as out on the injury report due to personal reasons, while the Grizzlies are still missing Ja Morant, Zach Edey, and Marcus Smart to name a few. The Nuggets probably thought that they could still be a threat without Jokic on the court, but they received a rude wake-up call against the Grizzlies on Sunday and I think we’re in for a similar result here. It is always tough to beat the same team twice in a row, but the Nuggets aren’t nearly as dangerous without Jokic, so I am with the Grizzlies to get the win at home again.
