The Denver Nuggets won this Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies at the Ball Arena by 120-96 and remained that way on the road to victory, after beating the Houston Rockets by 129-116 last Saturday in the NBA in the United States.

part of the starting team for the fifth consecutive game
, compared to the absences of the other guards in the franchise: Jamal Murray, who is recovering after undergoing surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in one knee, and Monte Morris , who suffered a hamstring strain in his right leg.
The final roster of the Cordovan registered
eight assists, two steals, two rebounds, three personal fouls, one loss and seven points
(1/4 in triples and 2/4 in doubles) in 30 minutes of action on the court.
Among the highest points of the former Peñarol de Mar del Plata and Real Madrid, stood out a spectacular
personal play from hoop to hoop
that he improvised on the closing of the first half.
The Argentine started in the field and did not stop until he scored on a layup against the brand of Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., who are 13 and 33 centimeters tall respectively.
Apart from his already usual defensive solidity and a large number of assists, the Cordoba player was again
erratic in shooting
, with an effectiveness of 25% in triples and 50% in doubles.
In recent meetings, against the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors, he registered 1 of 5 (1/2 in doubles and 1/5 in triples) and 1 of 8 (0/1 in doubles and 1/7 in triples) in shots from field respectively.
