What to know
The Denver Nuggets’ road trip will continue as they take on the Memphis Grizzlies at 8:00 pm ET on Tuesday at FedExForum. The Nuggets are expected to lose this game by four points, so we’ll see if that gives them some motivation.
The Nuggets are heading into this one after bettors set last week’s low over/under at 228.5, but even that ended up being too high. They suffered a tough 105-90 loss against the Grizzlies on Sunday. Denver was down 84-64 at the end of the third quarter, which was too much to recover from.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the outcome, the Nuggets struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with just six offensive rebounds. Unfortunately, that is becoming a trend for them; They averaged 14.4 offensive rebounds per game earlier this season, but in their last five games they have fallen to just 8.6 per game.
Denver’s loss was its third in a row on the road, dropping its record to 7-5. As for Memphis, their victory raised their record to 8-6.
Keep an eye on the goal in Tuesday’s game: the Nuggets have been dynamite from deep this season, having made 38.4% of their three-pointers per game. It’s a different story for the Grizzlies, however, as they have only made 34.1% of their three-pointers this season. Given the Nuggets’ considerable advantage in that area, the Grizzlies will need to find a way to close that gap.
