Nuggets, Grizzlies Square Off in Memphis
The Denver Nuggets will visit the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum on Monday evening.

Denver (33-15) has been on a roll lately, earning back-to-back blowout wins over Phoenix and Philadelphia. In the team's recent win over Philly, Nikola Jokic recorded his seventh triple-double of the season, finishing with a whopping 32 points, 18 rebounds, and 10 assists. The big man continues to be the key to Denver's breakout season, and he has yet to show any signs of slowing down. In January, Jokic has averaged 25.5 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 8.5 assists. The Nuggets are 9-4 so far since the start of the new year.

Jamal Murray (ankle) will be a game-time decision after missing Saturday's tilt.

Memphis (20-30) earned a badly-needed win on Saturday, taking down Indiana, 106-103. Mike Conley led the team with 22 points and 11 assists in the win. However, the team has still been in free-fall recently, losing its previous nine games before Saturday's narrow victory. Memphis owns the league's lowest-scoring offense at just 100.8 points per game. The Grizzlies will need to make a major change to turn their season around, since they are just 2-15 in their last 17 contests.

Kyle Anderson (ankle) and Dillon Brooks (toe) are both out for Monday's contest. Omri Casspi is a game-time decision as he deals with a knee injury.
