Memphis at Denver

The Memphis Grizzlies started the season at 7-4 and doing their thing, defending and winning ugly. The problem is that they lost that identity, and have now dropped six straight games. The good news is that for a team that relies on defense to win games, the Grizzlies have held each of their last three opponents to fewer points than the previous opponent. They also shot the ball much better in a one-point loss their last time out. The Nuggets are 10-8 on the season, but just 2-3 in their last five. They have really made no effort on the defensive end at all. The Nuggets' last five opponents have seen four of them shoot 52% or better. This is a good opportunity for Memphis to get back on track. Play the points on Memphis.
