The Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies will face-off on Saturday night in a battle between the top two seeds in the Western Conference.
The Grizzlies are set as slight home favorites to take down Nikola Jokic and company.
But, what about player props? If you’re looking for those, you’ve come to the right place.
I have two player props to break down for tonight’s pivotal matchup.
Nuggets vs. Grizzlies player props
- Jamal Murray OVER 2.5 3-point field goals
- Nikola Jokic OVER 13.5 rebounds
Jamal Murray OVER 2.5 3-point field goals
The Nuggets will be able to attack the Grizzlies on the perimeter tonight, since that seems to be their weakness on defense.
The Grizzlies rank first in opponent two-point field goal percentage, but just 13th in opponent three-point field goal percentage. Also, 34.8% of the points scores against the Grizzlies come from three-point land, which ranks 28th in the NBA.
Murray went 3-of-11 from three against the Cavaliers on Thursday, and if he takes that many three-pointers again tonight, I expect him to cash this bet for us.
Nikola Jokic OVER 13.5 rebounds
The Grizzlies have struggled in the rebounding department as of late, grabbing only 45.7% of available boards over their last three games. That’s bad news for them having to face Nikola Jokic tonight.
Jokic is coming off an 18-rebound performance against the Cavaliers, and I’m willing to wager on him having another big night on the boards tonight.
