Memphis Grizzlies: 3 keys to victory against the Utah Jazz

The Memphis Grizzlies are on a three-game winning streak, but will likely come back down to earth soon. They face the Utah Jazz in three of their next four games and they’ll look to steal a win or two against the best team in the NBA.

The Jazz are 32-11 and despite a small hiccup in their win percentage last week, they’ve gotten right back to work, coming home with wins in their last three games as well.

It’ll be a battle of who’s hotter. The Grizzlies will continue to miss Jaren Jackson Jr. in the lineup, while the Jazz should be at full strength.

That said, we’ve seen the Grizzlies punch up all season long, playing their best basketball against the league’s best teams and playing their worst against lesser opponents.

Let’s hope that the Grizzlies can keep that trend going, as the Jazz are the best team that the Grizzlies have remaining on their schedule. If Memphis can come out of this with at least one win, they’ll have to feel good about how they played.

Here are the Utah Jazz’s top performers so far in the 2020-21 season:

Donovan Mitchell: 25.4 points, 5.5 assists, 4.6 rebounds

Mike Conley: 16.4 points, 5.4 assists, 1.4 steals

Rudy Gobert: 14.4 points, 13.4 rebounds, 3.0 blocks

If the Grizzlies can slow these guys down, they should have some good luck getting the win. Any single one of the mentioned players can take over the game, so Memphis will have to have a near-perfect night defensively.
