Memphis Grizzlies vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Nuggets have the ability to blow the doors off, but they’re 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games and are coming off a ridiculous comeback that included overtime. The Nuggets need to keep winning to lock up the third seed in the west so this isn’t a spot where they should take their foot off the gas, but this number is insane. The Grizzlies beat the Nuggets less than a month ago as a double-digit underdog. Ugly matchup, but it’s Grizzlies and the endless points or pass for me.
