The Denver Nuggets are set to take on the Memphis Grizzlies without their star player, Nikola Jokic, who is out for personal reasons. This marks his third consecutive game missed, and the Nuggets have struggled in his absence, losing both prior matches.

Currently, the Nuggets hold a 7-5 record, placing them sixth in the Western Conference, while the Grizzlies sit at 8-6, positioned seventh. The Nuggets will look to bounce back against the Dallas Mavericks after facing Memphis.
