The Memphis Grizzlies will be up against the Denver Nuggets in a Western Conference clash on Sunday. Seeded third in the West, the Nuggets are entering the clash on the back of two consecutive wins. On the other hand, the Grizzlies are occupying the 11th spot in the West, and they will enter the matchup on the back of two successive defeats.
The Denver Nuggets are 3-point underdogs with moneyline at +134 and total around 224.5 points. These NBA odds today suggest that the Nuggets, despite being a better team than their hosts on Sunday, don’t own much of an advantage against the Grizzlies. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay and a few player props for Sunday’s game.
Here’s how we are betting Memphis Grizzlies vs Denver Nuggets on Sunday.
Best Bet: Denver Nuggets +3 (-106)
Book: Best price at FanDuel
Our best bet for Memphis Grizzlies vs Denver Nuggets is Nuggets +3 (-106) against the spread.
The Denver Nuggets are seeded third in the standings with a 31-15 win-loss record, and own an elite offensive efficiency, despite missing Nikola Jokic for almost a month now. Though in terms of defense, they have slipped towards the second half of the standings. The Memphis Grizzlies, on the other hand, have a mid-rack offense and a better defense than the Nuggets.
The line at Nuggets +3 feels generous considering their overall record and elite offense. The Grizzlies, on the flip side, despite a defensive edge, are struggling with consistency at home.
Given the matchup, overall record and better offense, we are taking the points with Denver at +3 (-106) and expect them to cover this number.
3-Leg SGP (Safer)
Combined odds: +494
We have built this same-game parlay around the Nuggets to win outright or lose by a smaller margin. Jamal Murray is the second-leading scorer for the Nuggets, who drops around 26 points per game and leads the offense in absence of Nikola Jokic. Peyton Watson is another reliable scorer, who can come up with points in need.
These legs are correlated, considering if the Nuggets dominate the Grizzlies’ homecourt, their players get volume, and they score for the visitors. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
