The Memphis Grizzlies are having a surprise year so far, winning 26 games and losing just 23 at the time of this post. They have been punching above their weight class all year long and they’ll try to continue pushing for a playoff spot before the return of their second-best player and star big man in Jaren Jackson Jr.

Make no mistake, this is a team that has been undermanned all year long. In the absence of multiple key contributors, Jonas Valanciunas has stepped up in a big way to keep his team in the win column.
