Free Denver Nuggets vs. Memphis Grizzlies NBA Prediction:
The Nuggets and Grizzlies play two different styles of basketball. The Grizzlies are looking to speed the game up and maximize their possessions.
When the Nuggets take on teams similar to Memphis, they win 66% of the time. On average, Denver is able to slow these contests down by 4 possessions per game.
In the cases when the Grizzlies are forced to play slow-paced teams, they end up playing down to their opponent’s level. This change of pace has a large effect as they win just 41% of the time.
The biggest matchup to keep an eye on is how the Grizzlies will handle Denver’s top 10 offense. On average, the league’s top offenses, score at their usual rate vs. Memphis. The Grizzlies walk away with a win 44% of these contests.
I expect Denver to have a big night scoring the ball, as they traditionally perform better than expected vs. good defensive units. On average, the Nuggets score 10 points above the league’s expected output.
In this contest, I will be taking Denver to pull out the straight-up win.
