The Memphis Grizzlies started this season with an impressive win against the New Orleans Pelicans. However, the team could not maintain the consistency throughout, as they currently stand at a win-loss streak of 13-14. Even though the team currently stands in the top 10 of the Western Conference, the Grizzlies are on the lower end of the line. Recently, the team racked up two back-to-back wins. This indicates a bounce back on their part for the championship run. There is still time for the playoffs and if the streak continues, the team might just make it to the stage. Their last two wins were against the Los Angeles Clippers and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jaren Jackson Jr., Cam Spencer and Jock Landale are currently leading the team to their victory. Ja Morant was absent from the last game due to an injury.
