The 2nd meeting of the season between the Memphis Grizzlies (18-25) and the Denver Nuggets (31-15) will occur on Sunday. The Nuggets took the 1st matchup back in late November. The 125-115 win was highlighted by the play of Jamal Murray and Peyton Watson. The duo combined for 56 of the team’s points and made 11 of 21 from beyond the arc.
The Nuggets have won 6 of their last 8 games and have an opportunity to pick up yet another win streak if they are able to defeat the Grizzlies once again here. More impressive would be the fact that this potential win streak would be with all their wins coming on the road. The most impressive part of the early Denver success this season has been that they are doing it without Jokic. He will continue to be out, and both Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray are nursing hamstring injuries.
For the Grizzlies, it has been a tough start to 2026. They have gone just 3-7 in the new year and are playing with Ja Morant, who is likely out for some time. They are looking to avoid a 3-game losing streak as they head into this game. They lost back-to-back games to the Hawks and Pelicans earlier in the week. Their defense has been weak as they allowed 124 to the Hawks and followed that with allowing 133 to the Pelicans. They will need a better effort here against the Nuggets.

Our Memphis Grizzlies vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Denver has been strong all season and have been exceptional on the road. We believe that will continue to be the case here in Memphis as they face a Grizzlies team that just does not seem to have an identity with Ja Morant being on the shelf. Even if Murray and Gordon are not at 100%, this Nuggets team has a full roster that continues to step up.
Our prediction for Memphis Grizzlies vs Denver Nuggets: Denver +1.5
