With the Memphis Grizzlies season picking back up tonight, what are some of the most important games to win over the last 28 games?

The Memphis Grizzlies have had a lot of opportunity for rest over the All-Star break, with the USA vs. World game on the first day of the break. Because of that, it’s reasonable to assume that they’ve been using the week to prepare for those games circled in red marker.

Memphis was able to build a little bit of breathing room towards the end of the pre All-Star period of the season, and they currently sit in the eighth seed in the Western Conference with a four game lead over the ninth seed Portland Trail Blazers.

Because of that, there are more than a few key games for Memphis left on the schedule. What are some of the biggest games that the Grizzlies need to win, in order to have a playoff appearance at the end of the season?
