Memphis Grizzlies vs Denver Nuggets Prediction: the Leaders Need to Become More Powerful

Prediction for the NBA Memphis Grizzlies vs Denver Nuggets match will take place on February 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

The Grizzlies suffered 6 defeats in a stretch of 10 matches, so they are behind the leader of the West by 7 wins. The true potential of Memphis still needs to be determined: for the past season in a row, it has had to cope with the losses of key players, and the Milks rarely perform in a full lineup. Stephen Adams, for example, is now in the infirmary. Yes, this is a role-playing player, but the New Zealand big man helps partners very much to collect rebounds, and in the fight on someone else's backboard, Adams is one of the best.

Against Philadelphia, even without Adams, Taylor Jenkins' wards made 13 rebounds on offense but still lost - 105:110. After the first quarter, Memphis led by a difference of 15 points, but in the remaining 36 minutes, it realized only 2 of 21 threes, crossing out all efforts. Ja Morant failed the meeting, and Desmond Bane became the most productive in the team with 25 points.

Nikola Jokic is going for the MVP title for the 3rd time in a row, and Denver will likely finish the regular season in 1st place in its conference. At the deadline, the club strengthened well, getting Thomas Bryant and Reggie Jackson: there is a need for a backup point guard. Jackson and Bryant, however, looked not good in a recent match against Cleveland, but the Nuggets still won the 4th victory in a row – 115:109. Nikola Jokic scored another triple-double, and Michael Porter Jr. played a good match – these two became the main creators of Denver's success. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 4 threes and made 3 steals, becoming the best of the club's role players.

Memphis did well in the last match against Philadelphia, but the leaders need to become more powerful. Denver is not perfect in defense under the hoop, and Ja Morant scores a lot from the paint, so against the Nuggets, the Grizzlies' leader can change.
