A winning team with extended rest is just what the doctor ordered (no pun intended).
The Grizzlies are winners of seven of their last nine, entering a four-day break as the NBA Cup quarterfinals take place this week. Memphis just missed out on the festivities after losing a tiebreaker with the Phoenix Suns due to a lower point differential.
However, the added rest comes at a great time for the Grizzlies as Ja Morant is set to return for their next game against the Utah Jazz on Friday night in Memphis.
