The Memphis Grizzlies are clinging on to the eight place in the NBA Western Conference standings after losing five straight games. They hope to stop the bleeding soon as they are just two games behind the surging New Orleans Pelicans with their current record at 28-31. Their last victory was dated on February 12 prior to the NBA All-Star Weekend. They have the best chances to do that at home where they won 16 of their 30 games. In order to make the playoffs, they need rookie Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson to mature quickly.
