Memphis Grizzlies vs. Denver Nuggets individual matchups

Not only do these teams match up well, but the individual players match up even better. From the point guard position, all the way to the center spot, you won’t find teams with a more similar roster.

It starts with Ja Morant vs. Jamal Murray. Both of these guys are exciting young players, and guys that have led their team to success. Murray has seen more success, but Morant isn’t far behind. Between the two of them, there won’t be a dull moment in this game.

But they’re not the only guys who will keep our eyes glued to the screen.

The matchup that a lot of fans will be looking forward to even more is the 1-on-1 between Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas. In past years, this may not have seemed like a must-see competition, but with Valanciunas playing the best basketball of his career, this one should get interesting.

Coming off of a near 30-20 game, JV will look to lead this team to another victory. If he can handle Jokic the way he handled Robin Lopez, it will be a long night for the Nuggets.
