Injury Report
Memphis Grizzlies:
- Out: Santi Aldama (F, knee), Brandon Clarke (F, calf), Zach Edey (C, ankle), Ja Morant (G, elbow).
- Questionable: Walter Clayton Jr. (G, calf), Jaylen Wells (F, shoulder), Cedric Coward (G, shoulder).
- Note: Morant is out for weeks with UCL sprain, severely impacting offense.
Denver Nuggets:
- Out: Tamar Bates (F, foot surgery), Aaron Gordon (F, hamstring), Curtis Jones (G, two-way), Spencer Jones (G, concussion), Peyton Watson (G, hamstring).
- Probable: Christian Braun (G, ankle), Nikola Jokic (C, ankle).
- Questionable: Jamal Murray (G, hip inflammation).
- Note: Jokic is expected to play, but Murray’s status is key for backcourt.
Key Player Matchups
- Ja Morant (Grizzlies PG, out) vs. Jamal Murray (Nuggets PG, questionable): With Morant sidelined, Memphis’ backcourt (e.g., Cedric Coward) faces Murray (22.3 PPG recently)—Murray could dominate if available.
- Jaren Jackson Jr. (Grizzlies PF) vs. Nikola Jokic (Nuggets C): Jackson (19 PPG) vs. Jokic (28.8 PPG, 12.2 RPG)—Jokic’s playmaking could overwhelm Memphis’ frontcourt.
- Jaylen Wells (Grizzlies PF, questionable) vs. Aaron Gordon (Nuggets F, out): Wells (22 PPG in last matchup) vs. Nuggets’ forwards (e.g., Michael Porter Jr.)—injuries shift to Porter exploiting.
- Zach Edey (Grizzlies C, out) vs. Rudy Gobert? No, Denver has Jokic; Edey out, so Clarke vs. Jokic vulnerable.
