The Memphis Grizzlies will get a rare opportunity to showcase their talent in front of a national audience when the March 3 game at Boston will be televised live on TNT.
There are just over 15 games left remaining on the schedule for Memphis, but they have one of the easiest strengths of schedules in the final weeks of the 2021-22 season. There are a handful of games that will be a challenge and will certainly garner a playoff-like atmosphere.
