The Denver Nuggets (39-21) are bruised and battered, but they continue to push forward. Tonight, they have a matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies (31-28) who they knocked off in double overtime a week ago. The only difference is they’re now going to be without Will Barton (hamstring) who scored 28 points for them in that matchup while the Grizzlies are a largely healthy squad.
Denver is 7-3 in their last 10 games, and each of those three losses have been brutal games. The Boston Celtics held Denver to just eight points in the fourth quarter before the Golden State Warriors handed out two different beatings.
