Match Info

Nuggets Edge Grizzlies 123-118 Behind Jokic Triple-Double

The Denver Nuggets defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 123-118 on November 12, 2026, at FedExForum, using a vintage Nikola Jokic triple-double to survive a spirited Memphis comeback. The road win was Denver’s latest demonstration of late-game execution in a tight NBA contest.

Game overview

Denver built a 66-59 halftime lead behind efficient half-court offense and Jokic’s playmaking. Memphis responded in the third quarter, tying the game multiple times and briefly taking the lead early in the fourth. The Nuggets, however, remained composed and pulled away in the final three minutes.

Key moments

With the score tied at 112 and under three minutes remaining, Jokic assisted on a Jamal Murray three-pointer, then scored on a short hook shot over Jaren Jackson Jr. on the next possession. Denver’s defense forced a Ja Morant turnover on the following trip, and Murray added two free throws to push the lead to seven. Memphis never got closer than four the rest of the way.

Standout performers

Nikola Jokic recorded 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists.
Jamal Murray scored 26 points, including 5 three-pointers.
Aaron Gordon added 18 points and 8 rebounds for Denver.
Ja Morant led Memphis with 31 points and 8 assists.
Jaren Jackson Jr. finished with 24 points and 3 blocks.

Tactical story

Denver’s half-court offense was the story, as the Nuggets consistently used Jokic as a hub at the elbow and generated open cutters and corner threes. The Nuggets shot 50% from the field and committed only 11 turnovers. Memphis won the fast-break battle and forced 15 Denver turnovers, but the Grizzlies could not match Denver’s execution in the final half-court possessions.

What it means

The victory keeps Denver in the thick of the Western Conference standings and reinforces the Nuggets’ ability to win on the road against athletic opponents. Memphis showed plenty of fight and remains a dangerous team, but the Grizzlies will lament a few missed defensive assignments down the stretch. Jokic’s triple-double was the clear headliner in a game that had playoff-like intensity.
