Nuggets beat the Grizzlies 123-118 in Memphis Wednesday, continuing a road trip that began in Mexico City.
Denver entered 5-4 and Memphis 7-3, with Jerami Grant in double figures for five straight games and rookie Cameron Boozer playing well, according to Denver Stiffs. Julian Strawther was out for Denver, and Memphis was without Scotty Pippen Jr., Quinten Post and Richie Saunders, with Isaiah Stewart questionable. The preview called Aaron Gordon's health the key, since injuries have hurt Denver's playoff hopes.

Rockets host the Warriors Wednesday night at Toyota Center, looking to start a new win streak.
The Dream Shake listed Fred VanVleet, Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr., Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun as Houston's probable starters. The post labeled Steph Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Yaxel Lendeborg, Gui Santos and Draymond Green as Denver players, which appears to be an error, so that lineup is unconfirmed.

No. 3 in the 30-second version
Stephen Curry left the Warriors' loss to Houston early with abdominal soreness and will undergo an MRI.
The team ruled Curry out at the start of the second quarter, and coach Steve Kerr said the concern is high though further specifics were not yet known. Curry had been on the floor for only a few minutes when he exited. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg led Golden State with 25 points and 10 rebounds, and the Warriors' eight-game winning streak ended.

Rockets guard Marcus Smart was ejected after throwing a punch at Warriors center Charles Bassey.
Smart was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul after the punch, which officials said made contact with Bassey's nose. Rockets coach Ime Udoka said Smart reacted after Bassey replied to a complaint about a rebound entanglement, and Bassey called the punch fake toughness. Under the NBA rulebook, a punch brings a suspension of at least one game, and a mandatory fine is also expected.
