How the Grizzlies are doing
Is nine defeats in eleven games enough to turn on the red light? And a bitter last place in the conference? These are some of the red flags that coach Taylor Jenkins has to deal with at the start of the season.
All of this can be explained by the large number of injuries to key players such as Marcus Smart and Steven Adams.
Predictor: Memphis Grizzlies-Boston Celtics
The famous duel between the quiet and the desperate. That's the gist of Memphis Grizzlies vs. Boston Celtics, a battle of the leaders and the underdogs.
Of course, there's still a long way to go, but the situation is worrying for the Grizzlies, who have won just two games. On the other hand, the Celtics have only lost twice and show the exact opposite of the Memphis team's productivity.
Conference
