In their third quarter showdown, the Denver Nuggets are putting up a strong fight against the Memphis Grizzlies, currently leading 92-77. This performance marks a significant improvement for the Nuggets, who, after last week’s defeat to the Grizzlies, are looking to turn the tide in this matchup.
The Nuggets come into this game with a record of 7-5, while the Grizzlies hold a slight edge at 8-6. Scheduled for Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET at the FedExForum in Memphis, fans can catch the action on Altitude Sports & Entertainment or via online streaming through fuboTV.
After suffering a disappointing 105-90 loss to the Grizzlies in their last encounter—where they struggled to regain control, ending the third quarter at 84-64—the Nuggets are eager to prove themselves. Notably, the team has seen a decline in offensive rebounds, from an average of 14.4 earlier in the season to just 8.6 in their last five games, contributing to their recent struggles on the road.
Despite the odds being against them, with the Grizzlies favored by four points, the Nuggets’ shooting from beyond the arc could play a pivotal role. They have been impressive from three-point range this season, hitting 38.4% of their attempts compared to the Grizzlies’ 34.1%. If the Nuggets can leverage their shooting prowess, they have a real chance to secure a win.
Historically, the Nuggets have fared well against the Grizzlies, winning 7 of the last 10 matchups. This knowledge could serve as motivation for Denver as they aim to regain momentum in this competitive matchup.
As the Nuggets continue their journey through this road trip, fans remain hopeful that a solid performance against a key rival will spark a turnaround in their season and pave the way for greater successes ahead.
