The Brooklyn Nets (3-8) aim to extend their offensive surge after a 145-111 blowout of the New Orleans Pelicans as they travel to FedExForum for an 8:00 PM ET showdown with the hot 8-4 Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis, fresh off a 142-111 win over the Pelicans, rides rookie power forward Cameron Boozer’s standout play (second among rookies in assists and 9.8 rebounds per game) and a solid system under coach Tuomas Iisalo. The Grizzlies face a back‑to‑back, while the Nets get the return of Mikel Brown Jr. Injury lists include Michael Porter Jr. (Brooklyn) and several Memphis starters. The game streams on YES Network and DAZN.
Ty Jerome is lighting up the NBA, averaging 25.4 points per game in his first 11 outings for the Memphis Grizzlies and already emerging as a top Most Improved Player candidate. At 29, his sudden jump from a career‑long 9.3 PPG has sparked trade buzz, with the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder flagged as marquee suitors by insider Brett Siegel. While Memphis sits at a surprising 8‑4 and eyes a future built around No. 3 pick Cam Boozer and 7‑foot‑3 center Zach Edey, GM Zach Kleiman’s history of selling high could make Jerome expendable before the deadline.
Lakers forward Ziaire Williams says former Grizzlies teammate Dillon Brooks shaped his NBA rise. After three seasons in Memphis, where Brooks mentored him on defense, Williams credits the "crazy" yet focused vet for his confidence and hustle. Now facing Brooks’s Phoenix Suns, Williams reflects on their rivalry and his own growth. He’s posting career highs—11.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals—and shooting 56.3% overall, 46.5% from three, while the Lakers sit 11‑2, tied for the league’s best record. The piece blends personal tribute with the upcoming matchup.
The Nuggets have to at least call the Grizzlies to see where they stand on this trade idea, because it solves three issues and sets up a fourth.

An FAA nationwide ground stop on Friday afternoon disrupts travel for five NBA teams slated to fly to Saturday games. The Pistons beat the outage, arriving in Miami for their matchup with the Heat, but the Nets were grounded minutes before a flight to Memphis. The Cavaliers, Bulls, Grizzlies, Knicks and Spurs face uncertain departure plans, while the Nuggets and Mavericks have already reached their destinations. Referee travel may also be affected, and the league holds off on confirming any game cancellations until more details emerge.
The New Orleans Pelicans, sitting 4-8 under coach Jamahl Moseley, have issued a brief statement confirming guard Dejounte Murray’s trade request and that the team will explore options that benefit the organization. Murray, who averages 13.4 points per game and ranks fifth on the roster behind Zion Williamson (21.7 PPG) and Trey Murphy III (15.6 PPG), made the request amid injury woes and a 7‑4 Memphis Grizzlies matchup. The statement, shared by ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, signals a possible roster shake‑up as the Pelicans seek to improve a struggling, work‑in‑progress squad.
In the first 10 games of the 2026‑27 NBA season, Jamal Murray erupts as the Denver Nuggets' standout, delivering “top‑10 level” production and steering the team to early success, including a key win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Host Ryan Blackburn breaks down Murray’s impact, the Nuggets' current standing, and how Nikola Jokić’s expected return could shift the dynamic. The episode of the Pickaxe and Roll podcast offers detailed analysis, analytics, and rotation insights for hardcore Nuggets fans.
Draymond Green says Stephen Curry’s two‑week rehab estimate after his oblique tear is overly optimistic, projecting at least three weeks before the star returns. Green highlights the importance of rookie Yaxel Lendeborg (21.7 ppg, 7.4 rpg) and veteran Brandin Podziemski (17.3 ppg, 4.2 apg) stepping up—both posted 13‑point bursts in the Warriors’ 108‑115 loss to the Rockets. With Brandon Williams sidelined by a hamstring strain and Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody still recovering from knee injuries, Golden State’s depth will be tested against upcoming games versus the Spurs, Mavericks, Celtics and Grizzlies. Green remains cautiously optimistic but warns the team must collectively fill Curry’s void.
The Lakers enter the season 11-2, riding a seven‑game win streak despite a grueling early schedule that included three back‑to‑backs and multiple three‑games‑in‑four‑nights stretches. Key players Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves returned from the first road trip battered, yet the team secured wins over Detroit, Atlanta, Portland and Toronto and survived without its stars in several games. After a three‑day break, they face the Phoenix Suns before a home stretch against the Hornets, Utah and Sacramento, followed by a tough three‑game road gauntlet against San Antonio, Memphis and Houston – all before Thanksgiving. If they keep this pace, Los Angeles could match a 16‑2 record, a feat not seen since their 2019‑20 championship run.
The Miami Heat are still hunting scoring help, with Kyrie Irving’s potential trade to Dallas still uncertain. ClutchPoints insider Brett Siegel flags Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome as a surprising backup target. Jerome, entering the final year of his contract and set to decline a $9.6 million player option, has already logged two 40‑point games this season. The Memphis franchise may struggle to re‑sign him, making him an attractive unrestricted free‑agent for a Heat backcourt upgrade if the Irving deal falls through.
The New Orleans Pelicans aim to snap a four‑game skid when they host the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA Cup on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026. Four NOLA players are listed as doubtful: Trey Murphy III (bilateral patellar tendinopathy, 15.6 ppg), Bennedict Mathurin (thumb), Bryce McGowens (elbow) and Yves Missi (knee). Zion Williamson, Dejounte Murray, Saddiq Bey and Jeremiah Fears are expected to shoulder the load. Memphis also deals with injuries, missing Zach Edey and five others, while the Grizzlies sit at 7‑4 (5‑0 on the road) versus the Pelicans’ 4‑8 record.
After missing six games with a leg injury, Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin delivered his season‑best performance, scoring 22 points on 5‑of‑8 shooting in a 145‑111 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Nov. 12, 2026. Demin credited his teammates and the game plan for his comfort on the court. The rookie, who began the season struggling at 9.7 points per game, showed improved shooting (4‑of‑6 from three) and helped the Nets, now 24th in offensive rating, aim for a first winning streak against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Oklahoma City, Houston, Memphis and Charlotte would have a field day during the 2027 draft lottery based on the NBA's current standings.

Egor Demin returned from injury to drop 22 points, and Michael Porter Jr. and Julius Randle added 22 and 17 respectively. The win improves the Nets to 3‑8 before they face the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
Jamal Murray leads Denver Nuggets to a 123-118 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Nov. 12, 2026. Murray scores 30 points with eight assists, while Nikola Jokic adds 27 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. A 35-24 first‑quarter surge gives Denver a 30-16 early lead, and the Nuggets shoot 50% overall, converting 15 points off Memphis' 12 turnovers. Cameron Johnson contributes 23 points, and Denver limits its own turnovers to six. Memphis' Ty Jerome scores 22, but the Grizzlies fall to 7-4 after the loss. Denver improves to 6-4, staying 1.5 games behind the Northwest lead.
Cameron Johnson looked great against the Grizzlies, and the Nuggets need to lean on him for more scoring punch.
The New Orleans Pelicans fell to the New Jersey Nets 145-111 on Nov. 12, 2026, marking their fourth straight loss. After the 34‑point defeat, guard Dejounte Murray posted a cryptic, now‑deleted tweet hinting at "inside sabotage," fueling rumors of a rift with coach Jamahl Mosley. Stats show the Pelicans are 1‑8 with Murray playing versus 3‑0 without him. Murray, averaging 13.4 points this season, struggled with five points against the Nets. The team, now 4‑8, prepares to host the Memphis Grizzlies Friday.
