6. Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies were out for blood last season but ultimately fell in the conference semifinals to the eventual champs. You have to wonder how that series truly ends if Ja Morant never gets hurt.
Nevertheless, the Grizzlies will once again be headed for greatness this season. And with another year of experience under their belt, the sky is the limit for this young group.
If Morant can continue to play at a high level, there’s no question in my mind that this Grizzlies team will once again play a huge factor in the postseason. With an additional bounce here and there, perhaps this team could make a run to the conference finals this time.
