Memphis Grizzlies score vs. Denver Nuggets: live updates
After a flawless five-game homestand, the Memphis Grizzlies had a puzzling beginning to their road trip. The Grizzlies' seven-game win streak was snapped against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but they have a chance to get back on track against the Denver Nuggets.
Tuesday's game is nationally televised on TNT, and many eyes will be on Nuggets two-time MVP Nikola Jokic. In his last game, Jokic put up the first stat line of at least 40 points, 25 rebounds and 10 assists since Wilt Chamberlain in 1968.
The Grizzlies will have a stable of players to throw at Jokic that includes Steven Adams, Brandon Clarke and first-team all-defensive forward Jaren Jackson Jr.
Jokic is listed as probable on the Nuggets injury report due to a right knee contusion. Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Jeff Green are all questionable for the Nuggets (18-11). Michael Porter Jr. is listed as doubtful , and Collin Gillespie is out.
Memphis (19-10) will be without Desmond Bane and Danny Green.
This will be the first meeting between the Nuggets and Grizzlies this season. The Grizzlies are currently the No. 1 seed in the west, and the Nuggets are second.
Memphis has won three of the past four meetings.
