Here’s a recap and key takeaways from the recent matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Memphis Grizzlies:

🏀 Game Recap

  • The Nuggets beat the Grizzlies 125-115. Reuters+2ESPN.com+2
  • Denver made an exceptional 3-point shooting display: 22 of 43 from beyond the arc (~51.2%). Reuters
  • Key players for Denver:
    • Jamal Murray — 29 points and 6 threes. Reuters
    • Peyton Watson — 27 points, including a career-high five threes. Reuters
    • Nikola Jokić — 17 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds (another triple-double). Reuters
  • For Memphis:
    • Jock Landale — career-high tying 26 points and 10 boards. Reuters
    • Jaylen Wells — 22 points. Reuters
    • Cam Spencer — 18 points. Reuters

🔍 What Stood Out

  • The Nuggets’ deep shooting was a major difference. Hitting over half their 3-point attempts gave them the edge.
  • Jokić continuing to dominate across the board (points + assists + rebounds) emphasises how he still anchors Denver’s success.
  • Memphis lost a key player early: Zach Edey exited with a head injury after only 6 minutes. Reuters
  • Despite Memphis mounting a rally (cutting the deficit to five in the 4th), Denver closed it out with key plays—such as a behind-the-back pass from Jokić to Watson for a layup. Reuters

📌 Implications

  • For Denver: Shows strong depth and that when their shooters are hot, they can dominate even highly-competitive games.
  • For Memphis: The injury to Edey and giving up so many threes will be concerns to address moving forward.
  • Head-to-Head: Historically, Denver has the edge in this matchup. According to head-to-head data, the Nuggets have won about 61.6% of the games against the Grizzlies.
