The Memphis Grizzlies have been on a role lately, and a big part of it has been due to the play of Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. But what have been some of the more impressive stats on this run?
The Memphis Grizzlies, plain and simple, have been great.
Over the last 10 games, they’ve gone 8-2, and they’ve gone 5-0 across their last five games. These games haven’t exactly been against bums either, having beaten teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder, LA Clippers, and Houston Rockets. With this run, the Grizzlies have taken themselves from outside of the playoffs, right up to eighth seed in the West.
Still, what is the biggest reason for this amazing run? One of the biggest factors in this recent winning streak has been the play of Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant.
The rookie/sophomore duo has been outstanding for Memphis over these last 10 games, and if anything, they’ve finally made a statement to the league that they’ve arrived. Putting themselves in the conversation for Rookie of the Year and Most Improved Player though is just the tip of what the young duo has done. Let’s dive into some of their more impressive stats through the last five games.
