Memphis Grizzlies: Studs and Duds from huge road win at Denver Nuggets

Memphis Grizzlies duds vs Denver Nuggets

Jarrett Culver

Culver was called upon to give relief minutes to Ja Morant in this game and was very hot and cold. The 22-year-old did manage to contribute 6 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

However, it was his 5 fouls and 3 turnovers in 16 minutes of play that was underwhelming. His performance is disappointing because Culver has shown some flashes that he can be a regular contributor to this team.

Xavier Tillman, Sr.

Tillman couldn’t stay out of foul trouble either, recording three fouls in just 10 minutes of action. He had the lowest plus/minus on the team with a -4.

The Grizzlies really needed Tillman to chip in and take pressure off of Steven Adams and Jaren Jackson in trying to subdue Jokic, but was essentially non-plussed in the game.
