The Grizzlies come into the game with an impressive 16-11 in their first 27 games of the season, and after making the playoffs in the loaded Western Conference last year, appear to only be better this season.    

They were in the play-in tournament last year, but knocked off the San Antonio Spurs and Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors to get into the first round of the playoffs against the Utah Jazz (who they lost too).
