Memphis Grizzlies vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Grizzlies are a team that’s going nowhere fast, and their injury report remains a joke. However, the Nuggets have been trying to stay afloat for weeks now, given their injury situation. The Nuggets have also lost 4 of their last 5 games while the defense is heading in the wrong direction. While the Grizzlies aren’t winning, they have covered 4 of their last 5 games due to these inflated lines. I’m sure the Nuggets would just be happy to get out with a win. This line is too steep. Give me the points with the Grizzlies.
