Memphis Grizzlies vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: 3 big questions and a prediction

Will the Grizzlies’ supporting cast be the difference?

During the regular season, much was made about this team’s performance when Ja Morant wasn’t playing. And that has been the biggest difference for the Grizzlies this season compared to last year – they’re a monster of a team whether Morant plays or not.

The big question is whether that trend will continue into the playoffs. You’d expect that to be the case, however, the playoffs are often a different element. For inexperienced players, it can be difficult to adjust to.

And that’s one of the bigger questions to watch heading into this series. Especially if the Grizzlies are hoping to make a deep playoff run. They’re going to need their young supporting cast to adjust quickly to the postseason speed and environment.
