MikeCheck: Morant leadership, Anderson growth spotlight Grizzlies among Southwest Division’s second-half storylines

MEMPHIS – The midseason All-Star break was two weeks ago, but the Grizzlies actually opened the second half of their schedule with a productive start to this week’s four-game homestand.

Game No. 37 of the NBA’s truncated 72-game schedule resulted in Wednesday’s home victory over the Heat, with Ja Morant sealing the deal with a game-winning layup. Next up is the start of a two-game, back-to-back set against the Warriors that opens Friday at FedExForum.

The Grizzlies (18-19) look to keep the momentum going in a matchup of teams currently positioned for what would be the final two spots of the NBA’s new 10-team, play-in/playoff format.
