NBA Power Rankings: Blake Griffin trade shakes things up

Nothing will be worse news for the Grizzlies this week than the news that Mike Conley Jr. will miss the remainder of the season with a heel injury. Conley Jr. has been out since Nov. 13, and the team seems destined for a bottom-five record in the league with their franchise point guard on the shelf. Without Conley, the Grizzlies are going to have to get contributions from whomever they can find — on Monday, that help came from Myke Henry, who had nine points in the fourth quarter to help spark a comeback win over Philadelphia. Tyreke Evans had 10 points in the fourth as well, and the Grizzlies picked up their sole win for the week, 105-101.

Pau and the Spurs had the upper hand over younger brother Marc, with the Grizzlies losing 108-85 at home. The Grizzlies made just two 3-pointers, likely not what their game plan called for. Pau improved to 17-10 in games against Marc with the win, and they have the possibility of playing each other one more time this season in March. The Grizzlies shooting woes continued in their 109-100 loss to the Clippers on Friday, as they shot just 30 percent on 27 3-point attempts while Lou Williams exploded for 40 points off the bench for Los Angeles.
