22. Memphis Grizzlies (12-21)
The Memphis Grizzlies, for the most part, are an afterthought in the Western Conference. They have one flashy talent in Ja Morant and not much else. Although, they have turned in a solid record during the month of December. They’re 6-4, with one game to play before the turn of the New Year.
This team is evolving and it wouldn’t be surprising to see this team improve more and more as the season continues to unwind.
21. Chicago Bulls (13-20)
Winners of four of their last six, there’s no question that the Chicago Bulls have been playing much better basketball over the last two weeks. With that said, there is still a ton that needs to be settled inside that locker room.
And, sadly, I’m not sure this team will be able to make the strides that it wants to unless those issues are settled between Jim Boylen and his players.
