NBA Bet of the Day: Nuggets at Grizzlies Prediction

Welcome back to BetOnWins, where we bring you the best NBA bet of the day with the most accurate Nuggets at Grzzlies prediction. It’s the second game in just three days between those two teams as Grizz defeated Denver in Memphis on Nov 16 by 105:90. This time around, the game will count towards the NBA In Season Emirates Cup tournament (gosh they sold the name rights for money as they do in European football).

Nuggets Improving With Jokic Putting up Another MVP Season

After their rough start to the season,  the Denver Nuggets have been on a roll recently, winning seven of their last ten games. Led by superstar center Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets have been dominating the competition with their high-powered offense. Jokic has been putting up MVP-caliber numbers, averaging 26 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 assists per game. His ability to score from anywhere on the court and create opportunities for his teammates makes him a constant threat to opposing defenses. This year, the Joker has been making another strong case for the MVP and only the voters fatigue could cost him the most prized individual award in basketball.

Jokic is currently averaging some insane stats posting 29.7 points per game (4th in the league) with 13.7 rebounds (1st) and 11.7 assits (1st)! He is about to average a tripple-double every game, and that would absolutely amazing if he keeps it up all season. The fact that he is currently leading the league in both assists and rebounding while ranking in the top five in scoring is something on other player has ever done.

It’s really important to outline that the Joker missed the previous game between teams on November 16 with “personal reasons”, but is expected to play tonight.

Supporting Cast Responding

In addition to Jokic, the Nuggets have a strong supporting cast that includes Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon. The bad news for Mike Malone going into this game and an important factor in our Nuggets at Grizzlies prediction is that Aaron Gordon has been out since Nov 4 with a right calf strain. According to the team official press release, Gordon is nearing a return, and could feature later this week or next week at latest.

Murray is back, however, and he has been a consistent scorer for Denver, averaging 21 points per game, while Porter Jr. has been a reliable option on both ends of the floor.

Grizzlies Turning Up the Pace

On the other side of the court, we have the Memphis Grizzlies, who have been making a statement this season with their fast-paced style of play. The Grizzlies are currently sitting in the top half of the Western Conference standings, thanks in large part to the play of their young core of players. Ja Morant has been the driving force behind Memphis’s success, averaging 19 points and 7 assists per game. His speed and agility make him a nightmare for opposing defenses, and his ability to create scoring opportunities for his teammates has been a key factor in the Grizzlies’ success.

Ja has been out for two weeks with an injury suffered against the Lakers while attempting a lob. It’s crazy how often he injures himself while doing his midair acrobatics. Moran can definitely jump out the building, but he needs to pace himself better and play it safer at times. He is always going for the spectacular, which is understandable given his age and great for the fans, but he needs to be there for his team as he has missed way too many games over the last couple of years.

The big news related to this Nuggets at Grizzlies prediction is that Ja is still listed as out. He is nearing a return as he posted on X himself, but it does not look like he will suit up against the Nuggets. The other big absentee (literally) for the Grizz Zach Ede, who has been making a good case for his Rookie honors this year. I liked Ede as a college player and I knew he would transition well to the NBA, and he has been a force down low.

On the flip side, the Grizzlies got a major piece back with Desmont Bane returning to the lineup.

A Deeper Memphis Team

In addition to Morant, the Grizzlies have a talented group of players that includes Jaren Jackson Jr., Dillon Brooks, and Jonas Valanciunas. Jackson Jr. has been a force on both ends of the floor, averaging 15 points and 5 rebounds per game, while Brooks has been a reliable scoring option for Memphis. Valanciunas has been a dominant presence in the paint, averaging a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds per game.

Nuggets at Grizzlies Prediction – Stats & Facts

When it comes to the stats, both teams are evenly matched in several key categories. The Nuggets have the edge in scoring, averaging 115 points per game compared to the Grizzlies’ 113 points per game. However, the Grizzlies have the advantage on the defensive end, holding their opponents to 110 points per game, while the Nuggets are allowing 112 points per game. This sets the stage for an exciting matchup between two teams that excel on both ends of the floor.

Key Factors

As we look ahead to tomorrow’s game, there are a few key factors to keep an eye on. The battle in the paint between Jokic and Valanciunas will be crucial, as both players are dominant forces in the post. The matchup between Morant and Murray will also be one to watch, as both players have the ability to take over a game with their scoring and playmaking abilities.

Previewing the Betting Odds

In terms of betting odds, the Nuggets are currently favored to win by 3 points, with an over/under of 222 points. Given the recent form of both teams, this game has the potential to be a high-scoring affair, with both teams looking to push the pace and take advantage of their offensive firepower.

Nuggets at Grizzlies Prediction, November 19

In conclusion, tonight’s game between the Denver Nuggets and the Memphis Grizzlies is set to be a thrilling matchup between two teams vying for playoff positioning in the competitive Western Conference. With star players on both sides and a high-stakes atmosphere, this game is sure to be a nail-biter from start to finish.
