The series between the Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies has been an odd one this year. After losing the first two contests in disappointing fashion, thanks largely to the heroics of former Jazzman Shelvin Mack, the Jazz battled back to win the third contest, though it was hard-fought as well.
Although the Grizzlies are second to last in the West and no longer have former franchise player Marc Gasol (or the aforementioned Mack either, for that matter), they’re still a feisty squad that presents a challenge for the Jazz. Utah tends to struggle in the FedEx Forum against the gritty Grizzlies regardless of the status of the Memphis squad, so don’t expect this to be an easy win by any means.
