NOTEBOOK Nuggets:

-

They shot 50.5 percent (49-of-97) from the field in Friday’s 129-109 victory over the Brooklyn Nets at the Pepsi Center, improving to 15-2 this season when shooting better than 50 percent from the field. … Coach Michael Malone said after the win over the Nets that fatigue has been a factor in the recent slump of second-year center Nikola Jokic, who has shot 9-of-27 and scored only 21 total points in the last three games. “Hopefully, he can find that third wind to finish out the season,” Malone said. … The Nuggets had 32 assists on 49 field goals Friday, their 11th game this season with 30 or more assists. That ranks second in the NBA, behind the Golden State Warriors (37). Grizzlies: They have dropped two consecutiv­e games and three of their last four. … The Grizzlies committed 17 turnovers that the Indiana Pacers converted into 29 points while beating Memphis 102-92 on Friday. … Memphis is giving up an average of 99.6 points per game, the third-best defensive performanc­e in the NBA. … The Grizzlies had a 22-5 advantage in fast-break points during their win over the Nuggets on Feb. 1. … Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley is averaging more points on the road (20.3) than at home (17.9).
