It isn’t even worth thinking about with the Nuggets (-10000) so heavily favored.<\/p>\n BET NUGGETS -22.5 (-110).<\/p>\n The Nuggets offense should be the main force in this game. They’ve scored at least 135 points in 4 of their last 5 home games and are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 at Ball Arena.<\/p>\n The Grizzlies have most of their main weapons sidelined, and that’s a major concern. They have scored 110 points or fewer in 6 of their last 10 games and should struggle on the road here. They’re 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a double-digit underdog.<\/p>\n BET OVER 243.5 (-105).<\/p>\n There hasn’t been a ton of defense being played in Memphis. The Grizzlies have gone Over in 6 of their last 7 games and have allowed at least 128 points in 5 straight.<\/p>\n Denver is 6-2 O\/U in its last 8 contests and has been on fire offensively, tallying at least 125 points in all but one of those. Expect a high-scoring battle Wednesday.<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations.
