Denver Nuggets at Memphis Grizzlies Preview & Picks

Memphis are tipped to cover as they win this NBA Cup matchup.

The Grizzlies have been in good form at home, while Denver's lack of depth makes the possible absence of Nikola Jokic a big problem.

  • Memphis Grizzlies are 8-1-0 ATS in their last 9 games
  • Memphis Grizzlies are 4-0 in their previous 4 home games
  • Denver Nuggets are 1-4-0 ATS on the road this season
  • The Under has cashed in 6 of the previous 9 meetings

Head To Head

  • Denver Nuggets lead the all-time series 66-41
  • Memphis Grizzlies won 105-90 when the two teams last met on November 17

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver go into the second game of his double-header with Memphis looking to avenge a loss that ended their five-game win streak.

The Nuggets opened the season with back-to-back home defeats, before steadying the ship on the road with overtime wins over Toronto, 127-125, and Brooklyn, 144-139.

They then responded to a 119-116 loss in Minnesota with a 129-103 blowout of Utah that sparked a five-game streak.

Denver beat Toronto 121-119, Oklahoma City 124-122, Miami 135-122 and Dallas 122-120, before heading out on the road to lose 101-94 in New Orleans in their NBA Cup opener.

That became back-to-back defeats on Sunday night as they lost 105-90 to the Grizzlies in Memphis.

Memphis Grizzlies Form

Memphis enter this matchup looking to back up Sunday night’s over Denver, which ended a two-game skid.

The Grizzlies made a slow start to the season as they lost three of their first five games, but they kick-started a good run in their final game in October.

They beat Milwaukee 122-99 at home and Philadelphia 124-107 on the road, before responding to a 106-104 loss in Brooklyn with a three-game win streak.

Memphis beat the Los Angeles Lakers 131-114 and Washington 128-104 at home, before heading to Portland to beat the Trail Blazers 134-89.

The Grizzlies’ run was halted by a 128-123 defeat at the Lakers and a 123-118 loss at Golden State, but they avoided a third straight loss with a 105-90 win over Denver on Sunday.

Verdict

Memphis have won four straight at home, while Denver have lost three-in-a-row on the road.

If Nikola Jokic sits this one out, we really like the Grizzlies' chances of repeating Sunday's win over the Nuggets.
