Nuggets Host Hobbled Grizzlies
The Denver Nuggets play host to the Memphis Grizzlies at Ball Arena on Monday evening.

Aaron Gordon is averaging 13.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is averaging 10.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies (24-47) ended a four-game side with a win in their last outing and will look to stay on track with a chance to improve on their, 16-20, road record.
