This game has the lowest total of any NBA game on Monday night, and it's that way for a reason. These are two of the top five defenses in the NBA, and the Under has gone 4-0 in four straight for the Grizzlies, 7-3 in Denver's last 10, and 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two.

The Nuggets come off two losses to end a five-game road trip. They had won and covered seven straight prior to the losses. They lost at Memphis four weeks ago, 89-87, but got the cover (+3.5). It was the sixth straight meeting that stayed Under the total. Memphis comes off a home loss Saturday against the Lakers and stayed Under in their fourth straight game. The Nuggets get back to winning tonight and get the cover Monday.
