Denver Nuggets vs Memphis Grizzlies: A win for the home team would leave them in the Western Six

Denver can't exhale yet, Minnesota have yet to catch up with Jokic's team, but the game against a bright and feisty team from Memphis might knock the team down a notch.

On the question of whether one man can carry a team

Yes, he can. Nikola Jokic is a direct confirmation of that: 27 points, 13.7 rebounds and 7.9 points for the whole season.

Denver need to win their remaining two games to stay in sixth place in the Western Conference and move directly into the playoffs. The team has lost twice in the three games they played in April, which made their position more precarious. Tonight's game against a very tough opponent could make or break the position for Mike Malone's team, so the game will be as interesting as possible.

Utah snapped a seven-game winning streak for Memphis

Memphis won't drop their second straight game and it's not entirely clear what to expect from the team, but Taylor Jenkins' men should be able to play to their potential.

Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks were absent from the last game, but that was enough to push the game to overtime. So, even without their leaders, Memphis can make any opponent take a beating.

Expert Betting Tips

As we mentioned before, the home team's matchup will be much more important than the visitors'. That's why Mike Malone's team will be the favorite in this game. The Grizzlies won all three meetings this season, but only the first game on November 2 was a low-scoring (106:97), then the results went up and in the third meeting, the teams scored a total of 240 points (122:118). The big total and a Denver win are the main things to bet on.

• Handicap 1 (-3.5) for 1.65;
• W1 and Total Under (232.5) for 2.70;
• Denver to win by 1-5 points for 5.00.
