Denver Nuggets Form

Defending champions Denver go into their opening road game looking to improve to 2-0.

The Nuggets opened the 2023/24 campaign with a home meeting against the Los Angeles Lakers, and made a fast start to lead by 14 after the first quarter.

They let the Lakers back into the game over the next two quarters, but pulled away again in the fourth to win 119-107.

Nikola Jokic led the way with an opening-night triple double, putting up 29 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists.

Jamal Murray had 21 points to go along with six assists, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope contributed 20 points.

Memphis Grizzlies Form

Memphis come into this matchup with the defending champions looking to bounce back from an opening night loss.

The Grizzlies were handed a home meeting with New Orleans to start the season, but failed to take advantage of that.

A rough second quarter left them trailing by 10 points at half-time, and despite a fourth quarter rally they were beaten 111-104.

Desmond Bane top-scored for Memphis with 31 points, to go along with five rebounds and five assists.

Xavier Tillman Sr had 17 points to go along with 12 rebounds, while Marcus Smart chipped in with 17 points in a losing effort.

Verdict

Denver picked up from where they left off on opening night, and another win and cover is expected against short-handed Memphis.
