Without Harris, the Nuggets still should have beat the Grizzlies who came into Saturday’s matchup with a 19-game losing streak. Denver shot an uncharacteristic 36.8 percent from the field — the fourth-worst Denver has shot in a game this season — and converted just nine of its 33 three-point attempts. Denver also shot 17-44 (38.6 percent) on uncontested field goals, per NBA.com.

Denver’s free-flowing halfcourt offense is built on a read-and-react philosophy where the Nuggets rely on their high-IQ guards and wings to play off Jokic. Denver’s star big man is at the center of its attack, but Harris is the Nuggets’ second-most integral chess piece.
