Apopka, Florida (Issuewire.com) - 19 sec ago - The Western Conference landscape continues to shift this Wednesday, April 8, as the Denver Nuggets host the Memphis Grizzlies at Ball Arena. Denver (50-28) enters the night as a powerhouse in the West, currently holding the third seed and looking to secure home-court advantage for the opening round of the playoffs.
The Denver Nuggets (51-28) will host the Memphis Grizzlies (25-54) after winning nine home games in a row.
On the other side, the Grizzlies (25-53) have endured a "lost season" defined by a historic number of injuries to their core roster. Already eliminated from postseason contention, Memphis is playing for pride and developmental minutes for their young rotation. Having lost their most recent encounter with Denver in February, a shorthanded Grizzlies squad faces a steep uphill battle against the defending-tier Nuggets. Catch the action live on Fubo.
The star power in this matchup is heavily centered on the Mile High City. The Nuggets are led by the triple-double brilliance of Nikola Jokić—who is averaging 27.9 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 10.8 assists per game—and the clutch scoring of Jamal Murray. Memphis, missing Ja Morant, Zach Edey, and Santi Aldama to season-ending injuries, will lean on Cedric Coward and GG Jackson to keep pace with Denver's elite offense.
