Denver Nuggets vs. Memphis Grizzlies Preview

The Denver Nuggets are off to a flying start this season, winning 12 of their first 16 games. During this early stretch, they have taken down some of the strongest teams in the league, including the Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat, and Golden State Warriors.

Nikola Jokic has been the biggest contributor to their success. He is currently averaging 30.4 points, 13.0 rebounds, 10.8 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, leading the team in all categories. He is already making a strong case to add another MVP trophy to his collection.

On the other hand, the Memphis Grizzlies have found this season much tougher. Missing Ja Morant for the majority of their games has played a big role in their early struggles. They boast a 6-11 record, although things might be turning around for the better. They clinched their first back-to-back wins recently, beating the Sacramento Kings on Thursday and the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.
