28. Memphis Grizzlies

Last Week’s Ranking: 28

Despite several guys being out with injuries, the Grizzlies played tough last week. They nearly stole the second game in the Lakers miniseries and lost a close one to the Cavs who were without Darius Garland and Collin Sexton. 

They did get a win over the depleted Nets to break their three-game losing streak. 

Starting most games with such a talent deficit leaves little room for error for the Grizzlies. Tyus Jones has done his job as a playmaker, averaging 6.8 assists since Ja Morant has been out. Kyle Anderson has also increased his assist average to 4.3 in that span. 

With no clear sign of when Morant or Jaren Jackson Jr. may return, Memphis cannot afford a dip in the production of Jones and Anderson.
