The Memphis Grizzlies are on a three-game winning streak and are surviving a stretch without their star player Ja Morant. Much in thanks to Zach Edey, rookie first round pick Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, and many others.
With the schedule lightening up in December, it’s time to take a look at where the Grizzlies stand in the West and see how far they can climb as they sit just 3.5 games back of the six seeded Timberwolves and are two games ahead of the 11th seeded Jazz.
The Grizzlies are better than those below them and still seem locked into at least a play-in appearance, behind them lie the Blazers, Jazz, Mavericks, Clippers, Kings, and Pelicans.
So, it’s time to look up. With an engaged Morant on the bench and his return looming, where can the Grizzlies land and how can they keep winning?
