The Nuggets stormed past the Grizzlies 120-96 to continue their run as the hottest team in the NBA over the past few months.
Denver has the best record in the NBA over its last 15 games, winning 13 in that stretch. All of this is coming without several key players, including Jamal Murray, Monte Morris, and Will Barton III.
Michael Porter Jr. continued his recent surge with another strong outing, posting 31 points and seven rebounds on 12-of-19 shooting. Ja Morant was once again hard for the Nuggets to contain, scoring 27 points on 10 of 15 shooting and adding six boards and six dimes.
