The Denver Nuggets bring a nine-game winning streak into Wednesday night\u2019s matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. They\u2019re still fighting for the No. 3 seed in the West with a one-game lead on both the Lakers and Rockets.<\/p>\n
The season has long been over for the Grizzlies, who have lost 5 in a row and 10 of their last 11 games.<\/p>\n
Memphis did beat the Nuggets right before that, though, taking down Denver 125-118 as +12.5 underdogs. The Grizzlies also covered as +14.5 underdogs in Denver in February.<\/p>\n

The Nuggets forward is finishing the season strong, and he should continue that as Denver still has playoff seeding to play for.<\/p>\n Johnson dropped 20 points in Memphis last month, so I see no reason he can\u2019t get to at least a dozen points tonight at home.<\/p>\n Grizzlies vs. Nuggets Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n This is an absurdly high spread, and I have to take the underdog out of principle. The Nuggets should be comfortable enough to win this game by double-digits and not necessarily run up the score too much with a matchup against the Thunder \u2013 and the playoffs \u2013 looming.<\/p>\n Denver only beat Utah by six a few weeks ago despite being a -19.5 favorite. Memphis can hold its own tonight in Denver.<\/p>\n Pick: Grizzlies +23.5 (-115)<\/p>\n Register with DraftKings today and get $300 in bonus bets if your first $5 bet wins<\/a>.
