7. Memphis
Record: 20-12
Last week: 7th
The Grizzlies aren't a particularly good offensive team, ranking 29th in scoring offense and 28th in offensive rating. But on most nights they get enough from Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, especially when considering just how good they are defensively. David Fizdale's team ranks first in the NBA in defensive rating and second in points allowed, and on many nights that defense has been good enough to get Memphis into the winner's circle. The offense isn't non-existent however, as they've scored 109 points or more in two of their last three games including a win over the Rockets. (Getty)
