The Denver Nuggets picked up right where they left off last season, taking care of the Lakers in the opener behind Jokic's triple-double. After one game this season, they rank second in adjusted offensive rating and eleventh in adjusted defensive rating. On the other side, the Grizzlies rank fourteenth in adjusted offensive rating and fourth in adjusted defensive rating. The Grizzlies are missing two significant players, Ja Morant and Steven Adams. The Grizzles will struggle to defend against Jokic on the defensive end and will struggle to score on the offensive end. The Grizzlies struggled to defend against the Pelicans in their first game and I look for those struggles to continue against the Nuggets. I am looking for the Nuggets to roll over a team missing too many key pieces.

Play on Denver. This is a 4% play.
