Memphis Grizzlies vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
You have to check the injury report before locking in a bet, as Jovic remains questionable. If he’s not going to play, the Grizzlies are the pick, as they may be without Morant and others, but they’ve been winning despite a banged-up roster. The Nuggets lack depth, so without their best player, it’s not an ideal situation. The Grizzlies just beat the Nuggets on Sunday. The Grizzlies have also covered 6 straight games. I’ll lay the points with the Grizzlies at home, of course, assuming Jovic doesn’t play for the Nuggets.
