The Memphis Grizzlies will not be in any discussions regarding NBA Finals contenders, but they shouldn’t be out of the NBA Playoff conversation.
On a normal year, their current position would put them on the outside looking in, but with a restructured playoff system in 2021, the Grizzlies actually have a really solid chance of earning a opportunity to compete for a championship.
It’s been an uphill battle without Jaren Jackson Jr. in the lineup, but based on where they’ve positioned themselves without him, their chances look pretty good.
