Will Ty Jerome put on another stellar performance against the Nuggets?
An exciting matchup is set to take place tonight in the Western Conference in Tennessee! Wettbasis has a tip ready for the showdown between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Denver Nuggets. The hosts have gotten off to a blistering start to the season with six straight wins. It was the New Orleans Pelicans who finally halted that run, though only narrowly—135–134 in overtime.
Since then, however, their form has dipped with two losses and one win. Ty Jerome, in particular, continues to deserve special praise among the home team. Following Ja Morant’s departure for Portland last summer, he has filled the resulting void at the point guard position exceptionally well. Currently, the 29-year-old is averaging 26.7 points per game this season—only seven players in the current NBA season have a higher average!
He has also reached the 40-point mark twice already this season. We’re therefore predicting that the 29-year-old guard will score more than 21.5 points in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Denver Nuggets.
Memphis Grizzlies – Denver Nuggets Head-to-Head Record
Denver is not a welcome guest in Memphis: Four of the Mississippi team’s last six home games have ended in a victory for the visitors.
Furthermore, looking back at the past six head-to-head matchups, the home team has recorded only one win. The odds for the upcoming Memphis Grizzlies vs. Denver Nuggets game also favor the visiting team from the “Mile-High City.”
Memphis Grizzlies – Denver Nuggets Pick
Denver, considered a top team heading into the 2026–27 NBA season, currently sits in tenth place in the Western Conference. While three-time MVP and 2023 Finals MVP Nikola Jokic—who led Denver to the championship that year—is once again delivering consistently strong performances, often hovering close to a triple-double, the visitors still have room for improvement from a team perspective.
The situation is quite the opposite for the home team, which hardly anyone had on their radar before the start of the season and following the departure of superstar Ja Morant. The Grizzlies are in seventh place and, at least for now, are on track for the playoffs or the play-in.
They have a guard in top form in Ty Jerome, who has scored at least 22 points in six of his nine games this season. In his second season in Memphis, he’s truly broken through, and a breakthrough season is on the horizon for him. With that in mind, for the matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Denver Nuggets, we’re betting on Ty Jerome to score more than 21.5 points again.
