[sc:NBA240banner ]The Denver Nuggets snapped their seven game losing streak with a big 93-85 win over Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. Kenneth Faried, Jusuf Nurkic and Arron Afflalo all scored in double digits in that game. They take on another team with an excellent frontcourt at Memphis tonight.
Memphis’ starting power forward Zach Randolph had a double-double (22 points and 10 rebounds) in the Grizzlies’ 109-990 win against Dallas on Tuesday, while center Marc Gasol added 15 points. The Grizzlies’ backcourt also poured in their contributions as Courtney Lee went 5-for-7 (3-for-4 from downtown) for 13 points, while Beno Udrich sank in 4-of-6 for eight points.
Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley, who missed the Dallas game with a wrist injury, is still doubtful to play.
