6. Memphis
Record: 17-8
Last week: 6th
As noted in the intro slide the Grizzlies are one of the hottest teams in the NBA, as they've won six straight games which includes a blowout win over Golden State on Saturday. In the 110-89 victory the Grizzlies limited Golden State to 44.2 percent shooting from the field and 9-for-27 from three, with the Warriors also committing 23 turnovers. Marc Gasol and Tony Allen led a balanced offensive effort with 19 points apiece, and in total Memphis had seven double-digit scorers. Memphis hasn't skipped a beat without injured point guard Mike Conley, with young players Andrew Harrison and Wade Baldwin IV filling the void and vets such as Allen, Gasol and Zach Randolph stepping up as well.
