The Memphis Grizzlies ( 20 - 18 ) defeated the Denver Nuggets ( 13 - 24 ) 91 - 84 on Friday . Both teams entered the game with their rosters at less than full strength , and the result was a gritty , grind - it - out affair . The visitors were missing stalwart power forward Kenneth Faried , who was out due to the birth of his child , while the Grizzlies had their starting backcourt sidelined . Mike Conley was forced to miss a second consecutive contest with a left Achilles injury , while a hip contusion derailed two - guard Courtney Lee for the night . While the three players ' respective replacements all turned in serviceable efforts , it was some of the team 's most reliable performers that led the way . Denver 's attack was spearheaded by Danilo Gallinari , who managed his second 29 - point outing over the last three contests , and who scored over 20 points for the fourth straight game since returning from a six - game absence due to an ankle injury . Faried 's replacement on the night , Darrell Arthur , was actually the Nuggets ' second leading scorer , managing 12 points , nine rebounds , a pair of assists and a pair of blocks . Gary Harris was the only other starter with double - digit scoring , pouring in 11 points and adding five rebounds , an assist and a steal . Jusuf Nurkic took another positive step in his gradual return to action , collecting six points , six rebounds and a block over 18 minutes off the bench . The Nuggets fell to 13 - 24 and remain in fourth place in the Western Conference 's Northwest Division . They head back home and await the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday . Although Memphis saw all five members of their starting unit tally double - digit points , they were actually led in scoring by Zach Randolph , who pitched in 24 points , six rebounds , an assist and three blocks . Jeff Green 's near double - double headed up the starters , with the Grizzlies ' forward contributing 16 points , nine rebounds , two assists and a steal . Frontcourt mate Matt Barnes was right behind him with a stat - sheet - stuffing performance that consisted of 15 points , seven rebounds , three assists and a block . Marc Gasol and Conley 's stand - in for the night , Mario Chalmers , posted a pair of 12 - point efforts . Gasol had a relatively quiet night on the boards with only four rebounds , but dished out a trio of assists and also snatched five steals . Meanwhile , Chalmers had a slow first half , but came on after intermission to finish with 12 points , six rebounds and four assists . Tony Allen did a fine job as Lee 's replacement , finishing with 10 points , nine rebounds , an assist , three steals and a block . The Grizzlies improved to 20 - 18 and remain in third place in the Western Conference 's Southwest Division . They now await the Boston Celtics for Sunday showdown .
