Latest news on Ja Morant and Nikola Jokic for Grizzlies vs. Nuggets game
The Nuggets are in good shape right now, as shown by the fact that they have won their last two games before tonight’s game. If they beat the Grizzlies, it would be their third win in a row and their seventh win in their last eight games, so they will try to keep the momentum going.
In the last three months, the Nuggets have played almost perfect basketball at home (28-4). They have only lost once at Ball Arena since December 6.
Nikola Jokic, who has won MVP twice, is helping Denver. If he wins the award again, he will join Larry Bird as the only players since 1984–1985 to win it three years in a row. Jokic averages 24.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 10 assists per game. He makes 63.3 percent of his shots from the field.
Since the Nuggets are getting better, he has been getting a lot of help lately. After Jamal Murray came back from a three-week absence, Aaron Gordon (17 ppg), Michael Porter Jr. (17 ppg), and Jamal Murray (20.1 ppg) all helped the team score.
The Grizzlies have been on a roll lately. Before this game, they had won three in a row. If they win against the Nuggets, it will be their fifth win in the last six games, and their fourth win in a row.

Last Saturday, the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Denver Nuggets by 18 points. This showed how dominant they could be.
Even though a report about an alleged incident involving Memphis star Ja Morant at a pick-up basketball game over the summer came out this week, it hasn’t changed how he plays on the court. Morant was not arrested, even though the police report was filed.
Morant scored 39 points on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers and 20 points on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets.
Morant finished Wednesday’s 113-99 win over the Rockets with 20 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals in 27 minutes of play.
Morant had a rough start in the Grizzlies’ first game after the All-Star break, but he’s had three good games in a row since then, including a 39-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist game on Tuesday.
During that time, the dynamic point guard has averaged 27.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in 28.3 minutes while shooting 50.8 percent from the field.
