The Denver Nuggets are looking to bounce back against the Memphis Grizzlies tonight in their final game before Thanksgiving.

After receiving unfortunate news that Aaron Gordon will be sidelined for the next four to six weeks, the Nuggets are officially in survival mode, simply hoping to get through the next few games without both Gordon and Christian Braun available. They still have Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, who are each playing at a high level, but they will need more to get enough wins in the next few weeks to stay above water in the West.

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the Aaron Gordon right hamstring injury and what it means for the Denver Nuggets in the next six weeks. He discusses Gordon and Christian Braun absences and rotation predictions. Then, he previews Denver’s matchup tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies and picks some odds and lines that he likes.


Pickaxe and Roll is the flagship Denver Nuggets show on Mile High Sports, posting every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday (unless otherwise specified). Ryan Blackburn breaks down the Nuggets in detail, bringing news, analytics, rotations, and more into a show for hardcore Nuggets fans.
