NBA playoff chances: Memphis Grizzlies bounce back for championship run with back-to-back wins

However, the team could not maintain the consistency throughout, as they currently stand at a win-loss streak of 13-14. Even though the team currently stands in the top 10 of the Western Conference, the Grizzlies are on the lower end of the line.

There is still time for the playoffs and if the streak continues, the team might just make it to the stage. Their last two wins were against the Los Angeles Clippers and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jaren Jackson Jr., Cam Spencer and Jock Landale are currently leading the team to their victory. Ja Morant was absent from the last game due to an injury.
