The Denver Nuggets (4-3) have started the season pretty decently and are sitting above .500 in a western conference with a decent amount of disappointing teams early on. Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies (4-3) have surpassed many expectations people had for them coming into the season so far. Both teams starts are in large part due to their MVP candidates, being Nikola Jokic and Ja Morant respectively. Both have been just fantastic to start the year.
The two teams did meet earlier in the week on Monday where Memphis beat the Nuggets with a final score of 106-97.
