The Memphis Grizzlies will finish as the top-seed in the Western Conference
The Memphis Grizzlies are currently tied with the Rockets and Warriors (in the loss column) for the best record in the NBA. Although, I’m not entirely on board with making them the favorites for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
They have the best defense, surrendering under 90 points per game, but I haven’t seen enough from their offense to pencil them in as a team that is going to be able to sustain this high mark for the entire season.
I wouldn’t be surprised, but I’m not expecting it.
