Memphis Grizzlies Studs in win vs Orlando Magic

Steven Adams

This was one of Steven Adams’ best games as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies. He was sensational not just on the glass like he usally is but also in some other areas too.

Adams finished the game with a near triple-double with totals of 12 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists. The big did a great job of finding the open man on multiple occasions.

The player with the most assists in this game was Steven Adams and that is something you don’t see every game.

De’Anthony Melton

Sure you can give the title of stud to Ja Morant, but De’Anthony Melton was amazing for the Memphis Grizzlies off the bench. He is definitetly one of the best bench players in all of the NBA and he stamped another performance to support his case.

Melton finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench in just 22 minutes of action. Just for the record Melton is 6-foot-2, and he tied for the second-most rebounds out of all players in this game.

His plus/minus rating was +14 and the impact he had on the game was evident just from the naked eye test. It’s easy to talk about the stars of this team but players such as Steven Adams and De’Anthony Melton are the reason Memphis runs as smoothly as they do.
