The Grizzlies are on the road at Dallas tonight. 6:30 tip. TV: ESPN and FanDuel Sports.
I mentioned that the Grizzlies had already dropped from second to fourth in the Western Conference since Jaren Jackson Jr. went on the injured list. Why’s that a big deal? Because at the end of the regular season,
- The top seed in the West gets home court advantage in the playoffs all the way through the Western Conference Finals
- The top two seeds get home court advantage through the first two rounds
- The top four seeds get home court advantage in the first round
- The top six seeds avoid the play-in round
LeBron’s Los Angeles Lakers and Steph Curry’s Golden State Warriors are surging following big trade deadline moves. With teams like that in the conference, the Grizzlies need every advantage they can get.
