Thursday, December 28th offers the second meeting between the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets. In the initial meeting, the Nuggets won 108-104.
The Grizzlies last played Tuesday taking the Pelicans 116-115 in overtime while the Nuggets played on Christmas Day defeating the Warriors 120-114.
Season Series
Last season, the teams played three times with the Nuggets taking two of the three contests and also holds the all-time record having bested the Grizzlies in 63 of their 103 matches.
Memphis Grizzlies
The adage that one player doesn’t make a team is on the money, however, one player can dramatically make a difference in how said team performs. Thus is the case for the Grizzlies who have their All-Star Ja Morant back and have won all four games since his return.
Morant elevates the team on the court offering superb playmaking, a go-to clutch-time scorer, and most importantly, makes everyone around him better.
Although the Grizzlies sit 13th (4.5 games back of the final play-in seed) it’s conceivable Memphis could emulate their win/loss percentage from last season with Morant and make up the distance to land a play-in seed.
Grizzlies Stats
Memphis ranks 29th on offense (107.5), and eighth defensively (112.7) while they are a minus -5.2 net differential which ranks 24th overall. It’s also worth noting in the small sample size of the four games Morant is played in the Grizzlies rank 21st (115.7), third (110.6), and eighth (plus +5.1) respectively.
The Grizzlies have performed poorly against the spread (but expect that to change with Morant back) with a 13-16 record this season.
Grizzlies Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Derrick Rose, PG (OUT indefinitely —hamstring)
- Steven Adams, C (OUT for season— knee)
- Luke Kennard, SG (OUT indefinitely —knee)
- Brandon Clarke, PF (OUT indefinitely —Achilles)
- Ja Morant, PG (questionable— illness)
- John Konchar, SG (questionable — illness)
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets are part of a quartet (Knicks, Hawks, Jazz) who’ve played the most road games (18) through the quarter-season. Denver will play seven of their next nine at Ball Arena and hit this stretch on a five-game win streak.
Entering this phase the team is clicking on both ends of the court and is seemingly toying with their food at times. Watch any Nuggets match and if they hit a dry spell in scoring you’ll notice they never allow it to get too out of hand.
During this current streak in several of the matches they seemingly flipped a switch when they needed to secure the victory.
Nuggets Stats
Denver ranks eighth on offense (117.9) and ninth defensively (112.5) with a net differential of plus +5.3 which ranks fifth overall.
Despite their record, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 14-17-1 record through 32 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Aaron Gordon PF (OUT indefinitely— hand/face)
- Vlatko Cancar, SF (OUT indefinitely— knee)

Free Memphis Grizzlies vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
Morant may be out this match nursing an illness which spells bad news for the Grizzlies. Denver will be missing Gordon who was bitten by a dog on Christmas requiring stitches to his hands and face.
Still, with Jokic and Murray both healthy and playing at home even if Ja was playing I’d be taking the Nuggets.
