LiontipsMemphis vs. Denver. NBA Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Due to recent failures, the Grizzlies were forced to leave the playoff zone. The team lost two games in a row, losing first to the Lakers (123:128), and then to Golden State (118:123). Despite this, Memphis showed character, fighting until the end even without Ja Morrant.
Taylor Jenkins' men are returning to their home arena, where they have traditionally performed successfully. Now the main hopes are pinned on Jaren Jackson and Desmond Bane, who are trying to maintain a high standard.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gregory Jackson, Cam Spencer and Ja Morant will be out with injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Grizzlies are unbeaten at home in three games.
Projected lineup: Pippen Jr. - Wells, Clark - Aldama, Jackson.
Current form
The Nuggets are slightly higher in the standings, occupying the sixth place in the West. After an impressive five-game winning streak, the team suffered a setback in the game against New Orleans (94:101). Fatigue after a busy schedule clearly affected the results.
Nikola Jokic continues to be a key player, showing consistent play in attack and rebounding. The team has a tough trip to Memphis, where they often have difficulties. On the other hand, Denver has noticeably improved recently, so it is clearly not going on the road just to give points to the opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
Aaron Gordon and Daron Holmes will not play in the next game due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Nuggets have played four games on the road this season, winning two.
Projected lineup: Porter Jr. - Watson, Saric - Brown, Murray.
