The Memphis Grizzlies host the Denver Nuggets at the FedExForum on Wednesday, November 12, 2026, with tip-off set for 02:00 UTC, as Memphis looks to break a three-game home losing streak and Denver tries to climb from tenth place in the Western Conference standings.
Ty Jerome leads Memphis scoring surge
The Memphis Grizzlies enter this matchup following a 118:102 road victory against Toronto, a result that snapped a series of three home defeats, Wettbasis – Sportwetten mit Erfolg reported. Point guard Ty Jerome has anchored the offense following the departure of Ja Morant to Portland last summer, averaging 26.7 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.7 rebounds across his first nine games of the season, according to sportwetten.bild.de.
Jerome recorded at least 22 points in six of those nine appearances, putting him among the top eight scorers in the NBA. Wettbasis – Sportwetten mit Erfolg projects Jerome to clear 21.5 points against Denver, noting he has already reached the 40-point mark twice this season.
Denver struggles to find consistency on the road
The Denver Nuggets arrive in Tennessee following a 110:100 loss to the Houston Rockets, which dropped their record down the Western Conference ladder. Nikola Jokic continues to post nightly near triple-double figures for the visitors, yet the team as a whole sits in tenth place in the West despite entering the year with higher expectations.
While Denver has dropped down the conference standings, the team has still managed four wins in its last six road fixtures. Historical matchups at the FedExForum heavily favor the visitors, with four of the past six head-to-head games in Memphis ending in victories for the team from the Mile-High City, including a recent 136:119 decision.
