Game Preview
Today, the Memphis Grizzlies will face off against the Denver Nuggets after eight months of not seeing each other’s faces. On that occasion, the Denver franchise won with a score of 122-109 and interrupted Memphis’ positive streak of three consecutive victories.
When taking a look at this game, it is important to keep in mind that both teams are performing well and are well positioned in the Western Conference. This match is going to be one of the best to watch because of what both teams have shown this season so far, and also because the leadership of the West is at stake.
The Memphis Grizzlies lost their previous game against the Oklahoma City Thunder by 115-109, which made them one of the surprises of last week because of the difference in level that these teams have shown so far this season. In doing so, they cut short a favorable streak of seven consecutive victories. That loss is also the team’s first in the month of December.
Despite suffering that defeat, the Grizzlies come into this game as the best team in the Western Conference, a team with more wins and fewer losses. The same is true in their Division, where they are the second team with the second highest number of points scored with 3370.
For their part, the Denver Nuggets had strung together their first positive streak of December with wins over the Trail Blazers, Jazz and Wizards, but were unable to continue that winning streak with a 126-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Neither that recent loss, nor the previous ones this month, can tarnish the good work Denver has been doing, which has been able to balance its lineup to be one of the best teams in the Western Conference. It is the team that has lost the fewest games in the Northwest Division and, thanks to that, leads that area.
Both teams have been strong this season and are getting closer to their goal each week. This is the first meeting between them this season, and it doesn’t look like it will be easy, given the strength that both have shown. However, the Memphis Grizzlies have been slightly better so far, and could have the edge in this matchup.
