PREVIEW: Denver visits Memphis trying to extend its six-game road winning streak , arriving as a team that has figured out how to win without relying on star power. The Nuggets have been impressive without Jokic, and both Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray are nursing hamstring injuries , yet they continue to dominate on the road through elite offensive execution. Denver's efficient three-point shooting ranks second league-wide, complemented by their low turnover rate and strong ball movement , creating a balanced attack that keeps opponents off balance. The Nuggets have posted six consecutive wins on the road with a 7-3 record in their last 10 games away from home, averaging 114 points while holding opponents to 114.6. The Memphis Grizzlies have been doing it tough lately as they've lost nine of their last 12 games overall , with their defensive struggles becoming increasingly problematic at home. Memphis relies heavily on post-up scoring while allowing plenty of three-point attempts on defense, ranking 25th in limiting perimeter shooting , a vulnerability that plays directly into Denver's strengths. The Grizzlies have lost their last two games at home, falling short against New Orleans 133-127 and narrowly losing to Atlanta 124-122. With Ja Morant sidelined and the team struggling in early 2026, Memphis looks to avoid a three-game losing streak , though their defensive issues suggest another challenging night ahead.
