Bet NBA Action For Saturday, March 17, 2018
LINE MOVEMENT
Denver is still at -6.5 where it opened, while the total has come down a point from 216. The spread ais -6.5 everywhere I see, while the total is 215 at most books but can be found at 215.5 through shopping around.
PUBLIC BETTING
As of Saturday morning, 81 percent of public bets are being placed on the visiting Nuggets. Online wager info also says that 60 percent of bets are coming in on the under.
INJURY TO WATCH
Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris (knee) is questionable to play. For the Grizzlies, point guards Andrew Harrison (wrist) and Mario Chalmers (hamstring) are also questionable.
BETTING STRATEGY
This line is begging to take the Nuggets. Only three times in the last 10 games has Memphis lost a game by less than seven points, although once was its most recent defeat in a 111-110 home loss to the Bulls for its 19th straight setback. Denver has won all three meetings this season, including 108-102 at Memphis on March 2. Memphis is even further into tanking mode now and both teams are on one day of rest. Don’t overthink this and take the Nuggets.
