Nuggets at Grizzlies 11/17/19 - NBA Picks & Predictions

The FedEx Forum will play host to a Sunday evening NBA battle between the Denver Nuggets and the Memphis Grizzlies. The Nuggets have won five of their last six games, but have yet to put together a complete game for head coach Mike Malone. On Thursday, Denver rallied from a 13-point halftime deficit to score a 101-93 home victory versus Brooklyn. 

Paul Millsap and Nikola Jokic tallied a game high 18 points apiece and combined to pull down 19 rebounds. Will Barton chipped in 17 points and six rebounds for the Nuggets.

The Memphis Grizzlies have won three straight games and are playing an uptempo style of basketball for rookie head coach Taylor Jenkins. On Friday, Memphis spoiled Mike Conley’s return during an exciting 107-106 home victory versus Utah. The Grizzlies were outrebounded by a 51-41 margin, but forced 15 turnovers on the night.

Rookie G Ja Morant led Memphis with 25 points on 9-for-22 from the field and dished out eight assists. Kyle Anderson contributed 13 points and seven rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench.
