Prediction

Ball Arena will be hopping tonight as the Nuggets get a run at the Grizzlies again after a rather blah performance last Saturday in Memphis.

Nikola Jokic and company still have a commanding 5 game lead in the West on the Grizzlies but there is no time to let the foot off the gas pedal now.

And it doesn’t look like the Nuggets are going to.

Denver has won 2 in a row since that beating in Memphis and 7 of their last 10.

It all runs through the fore gone conclusion at MVP, Nikola Jokic, who is just continuing his fantastic season, night in and night out.

Jokic has been sensational, no matter what Kendrick Perkins thinks. Not only is Jokic averaging a triple double, look at what he does to the starting 5 for the Nuggets.

The NBA’s top 5 offensive player ratings for players with 40+ games:

Nikola Jokić 124.8
Aaron Gordon 124.3
Michael Porter Jr 123.2
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 122.4
Jamal Murray 120.5*

*tied for 5th with Lillard

The Nuggets starting five contains the top 5 in the entire NBA.

You read that right.

The entire Nuggets starting 5 has the best offensive rating of all the players in the entire NBA.

This stat shows how well the Nuggets are playing but the biggest takeaway here is how amazing Nikola Jokic truly is.

He not only is one of the best overall players in the league, statistically, he makes every single one of his team mates top 5 in the league from a offensive rating perspective.

I could go on and on about Jokic but this piece is about this game and the best bet so let’s get to that.

In this matchup tonight, I love the Nuggets. I know the Grizzlies gave Denver the business last weekend but a big factor in that game was no Aaron Gordon.

Gordon is back again tonight and that puts this Nuggets team over the edge in this matchup.

Look for a big night from Gordon, Jokic and Co. to give the Grizzlies all they can handle and more.

Player Prop of the Game

Aaron Gordon o24.5 Point+Rebounds+Assists (-115) Bet 365

I am all over Aaron Gordon in this game, because of the matchup.

Gordon before having to miss time, hit his PRA in 3 straight games.

While he didn’t get it in his first two games back, I expect that he now has his feet fully back underneath him and tonight is a great matchup for a big game.

Gordon has hit his PRA in 4 of his last 5 games versus Memphis, the most recent one coming earlier this season in December.

He had 24 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in that game, skying over this PRA number and I could see a similar performance tonight.
