The Denver Nuggets (32-14) are coming off of a tough win over the Houston Rockets on Sunday, and they have a big back-to-back looming this week with the Utah Jazz and Milwaukee Bucks on the docket. Tonight, they’ll be looking to take down the upstart Memphis Grizzlies (22-24) who are on a two-game winning streak while winning eight of their last 10.
For the Grizzlies, they’ve been playing well behind rookie Ja Morant who has been doing some absolutely ridiculous stuff this season. They currently have a two-game lead for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, and they’ll be looking to grow that lead before their own back-to-back this week in the New York Knicks and New Orleans Pelicans.
