One of the biggest issues over the 4-game losing streak has been the Grizzlies simply not playing for the entire game. The Pacers jumped the Grizzlies and dominated from the jump, but the other 3 games all had moments where the Grizzlies lost control for just a few minutes and it cost them the game. Against Houston, the Grizzlies were down just one possession late in the first half before they fell apart in the final minutes and found themselves down double digits. The Grizzlies were up late against the Pelicans before crumbling down the stretch in the 4th. Then, against the Raptors earlier this week, the first few minutes of the 4th did the Grizzlies in. With all the injuries on the Grizzlies roster, Jenkins is fairly limited in his rotations, but he’s got to keep his young team fresh and ready to compete for the entire game.

After giving up 65 points in the first half against the Heat on Wednesday, the Wizards allowed just 35 in the second half, the fewest points they have given up in any half this season. While it will be difficult to once again hold Miami’s sharpshooting backcourt duo of Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson to 11.1% shooting – as they in the second half on Wednesday – there are elements of the defensive showing that could be replicable, like defending the paint without fouling. Washington committed just six fouls in the second half, only one of which came from their frontcourt trio of Robin Lopez, Alex Len and Rui Hachimura. Brooks also credited much of the team’s defensive success on Wednesday with their shot-making on the other end of the court, allowing them to get back ahead of the break and prevent easy transition baskets.

The B’s have been on fire as of late. They have come back in their last two games, and have been rewarded with a win in each. They came back from 3-0 down against the Washington Capitals earlier this week to win 5-3. Then, they came back to win a thriller against the Flyers on Wednesday down 3-1 this time with less than 8 to go in the third. The Bruins will hope they don’t need a comeback in this affair to come out on top. Patrice Bergeron has had 9 points in his last 5 games for the Bruins, including a game-winner in Wednesday’s matchup with the Flyers. David Pasternak on the other hand has a whopping 5 goals in his last 3 games.

The Celtics hope to continue their road luck by turning that win into a streak despite the loss of veteran Guard Marcus Smart in Boston’s recent home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, but will need a similarly strong performance from their available players to do it. While the Celtics may have the better record, it’s unclear if point guard Kemba Walker will be available to play, leaving Boston especially thin in their backcourt.

Phoenix also remains one of the favorites in the Western Conference to reach the postseason, a place it hasn’t been since the 2009-10 season. Denver is 5-3 in its last eight games and when this team is winning games, it’s usually down to focusing on the defensive end.
