<p>Both have had a torrid time as of late, although one has been far better than the other over the course of the NBA regular season: the Nuggets.</p> <p>Will Denver be able to capitalise on the poor form that the Grizzlies have been showing recently? Or, will there be a surprise on the day that suggests that there is potential betting value on offer in the odds set?</p> <p>Read on for our Nuggets vs Grizzlies betting predictions…</p> <h2>Quick Picks</h2> <p><strong>Our pick: </strong>Nuggets to win</p> <p><strong>Value bet: </strong>Jokic to have 20+ points</p> <p><strong>Long shot:</strong> Jokic to have a <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nba/nba-news/what-is-a-triple-double">triple-double in the NBA</a></p> <h2>Betting Preview</h2> <p>Of course, the recent form is something that is simply too hard to ignore when it comes to this matchup.</p> <p>Before we even take a look at the history between these two teams and the results that have occurred, it's a game many will likely expect Denver to win. They are toward the top of the Western Conference and have been fairly good when at home.</p> <p>Although their away record is much better (20-9 at time of writing), they are 14-10 at home. While it could be better, the Grizzlies have been struggling. Memphis are 9-15 on the road prior to their trip to GSW, while they are on a run of eight defeats over their last 10 games.</p> <p>Interestingly, this is where there may be value, as the Nuggets are 5-5 over the same period. Still, they've enjoyed themselves against fellow Western Conference teams, having gone 19-9 against these sides. If you're new to <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/how-to-bet-on-the-nba">how to bet on the NBA</a>, understanding conference matchups can be valuable.</p> <h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2> <p>So, what does the H2H show us? Does it suggest the likelihood of a victory for Denver in the same way the recent NBA regular-season form is suggesting?</p> <p>It does. Over the last 20 matches, Memphis have won just six of them. Denver has won the last three on the bounce. That record improves significantly when playing as the hosts, with the Nuggets winning nine of the last 10.</p> <p>Of these results, the results have been mixed. However, a trend has started to appear in the most recent meetings: Denver winning by a large margin. For this reason, we think the Big Win Little Win of 11+ points is worth value.</p> <p>The biggest concern will be around the players that Denver have available. Jamal Murray could be questionable, while Peyton Watson and Aaron Gordon are both out. Nikola Jokic should feature, and he will be worth watching for value.</p> <p>Jokic has been consistent since his injury issues, scoring 20+ points in four of the five games (prior to the Cleveland Cavaliers game). We think he'll continue to achieve this positive form and land 20+ points once again.</p> <h2>Our Prediction</h2> <p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba">NBA betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p> <p>As highlighted above, we think the Denver Nuggets will be the likely winners of this game.</p> <p>We don't think the form that Memphis are in will help them, while they have their own injury issues. The Nuggets have their own, but they should have the quality needed to likely help them get the victory.</p> <p>Jokic to have a triple-double presents as a long shot, as he has had two in his last two games (before the Cavs). Jokic is among the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nba/nba-news/nba-news-2025-most-triple-doubles-in-nba">all-time triple-double leaders</a> in NBA history.</p> <h2>Keep Reading</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nba/tips">Our latest NBA tips and predictions for this week</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nba/nba-news/nba-plus-minus-explained">The plus-minus stat and what it actually tells us</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nba/nba-news/nba-positions-explained-basketball-roles">Point guard to centre — every position on the court explained</a></li> </ul>
