\"The
The Denver Nuggets are 18-1 SU at home versus Western Conference foes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Memphis has won six games in a row, including a 96-85 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers as six-point road underdogs Wednesday night, while going UNDER the posted total of 185.\u00a0 \u201cThis is a huge win, obviously, second game of a back-to-back against a good team,\u201d commented Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley.\u00a0 The Grizzlies are certainly up against it in this spot, as they\u2019ve dropped 29 of 33 road games versus the Nuggets, which is important to consider when making your NBA picks against the spread.\u00a0 Memphis is 20-10 ATS on the road this season, with the OVER going 15-14-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies have won 14 of their last 15 games, which is their best 15-game run in franchise history.\u00a0 Memphis is 20-0 this season when scoring 100 points, but is just 2-6 when allowing an opponent to reach the century mark.\u00a0 Defensively, the team leads the NBA in allowing just 89.4 points per game, while holding 55 of 63 foes to under 100 points.<\/p>\n

Denver comes in on a 10-game winning streak, as it picked up a 117-94 victory over the New York Knicks Wednesday night, while going OVER the total for the first time in four contests.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re playing really well right now,\u201d stated Nuggets guard Andre Iguodala.\u00a0 The Nuggets have four starters averaging in double figures, with point guard Ty Lawson leading the way, scoring 17.0 points and dishing out 7.1 assists per game.\u00a0 The team is 29-3 at the Pepsi Center this year, including an 18-1 mark versus Western Conference foes.\u00a0 Denver is 7-0 SUATS during the month of March, with the UNDER going 5-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Nuggets are 27-3 when allowing fewer than 100 points this season, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the pro basketball odds page.\u00a0 Denver has excelled against the top eight teams in the conference, as it has gone 18-7 in those matchups, including a 3-1 mark versus Memphis.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Nuggets due to their 12-0 ATS mark at home versus a team with a winning road record, while the Grizzlies are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 road games in this series.<\/p>\n
