Grizzlies need fewer games from Ja Morant than fans think to be a contender

Ja Morant is one of the NBA's most marketable players due to his playing style, which has a highlight package that rivals the best of them. However, his time on the basketball court has been marred by injuries that have affected his availability on the basketball court during the most important time of the season.

He has ended the season out with an injury three of the last four seasons, so it is fair to assume that most pundits have the Grizzlies taking a step back due to that. However, the data suggests that the team doesn't necessarily need him to play nearly every regular-season game, but just enough where he is healthy when it matters the most.
