The Memphis Grizzlies slid down to the third seed in the West at 38-26. Morale was low causing poor performance as a team as they will be missing Ja Morant’s services for another 3 games. Nonetheless, Jaren Jackson Jr stepped up against the Lakers producing 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks that gave the team some much-needed confidence.
With Morant’s suspension, SG Desmond Bane leveled up his play bringing in an average of 21.2 points, 5 boards, and 4.1 dimes. Adding insult to injury is the sidelining of their big men in Centers Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke. The loss of their bigs puts the team in a precarious state and can affect the outcome of the league.

- The total went UNDER in 6 of Memphis’ last 7 games against an opponent in the Pacific Division.
