The Memphis Grizzlies are having an extremely strong season, all things considered. Taylor Jenkins has to be pleased with how his team has played throughout 2021.
In mid-April, his team is fighting with the Dallas Mavericks, Portland Trail Blazers, and Los Angeles Lakers for the 6th seed in the Western Conference. This is well beyond the preseason expectation for Memphis, so they’ll look to continue to ride this momentum.
That said, the Grizzlies have a tough road ahead, with a handful of skilled opponents remaining on the schedule.
