Sorting through the aftershocks of Ja Morant's eruption, lamenting Zion Williamson's looming missed MLK Day, noting a promising recent lineup wrinkle and more.  

Ja Morant took on James Harden and the Houston Rockets on a night that helped define the new Memphis Grizzlies.

Grizzlies close out the fourth quarter controlling James Harden and notching their sixth-straight victory, defeating the Houston Rockets.

Jaren Jackson Jr. began his sophomore season in a funk. But his emergence as an elite 3-point shooter and re-emergence as a defensive playmaker has elevated the Grizzlies, now and going forward.

The Grizzlies playoff chase: It's here. It's real. And there's no downside to it. 

Jonas Valanciunas had 31 points and 19 rebounds as the Grizzlies pulled away from the Golden State Warriors in the second half for a 122-102 win. 

Although just 23, Dillon Brooks doesn't always get mentioned with Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Brandon Clarke as part of the Grizzlies' new young core. But he's OK with that because he already has learned to assume nothing. 

The Memphis Grizzlies not only defeated the San Antonio Spurs for their fourth-straight victory, but now talk of the playoffs is not out of the question.

Their future still matters much more than their present, but the young Grizzlies – 10-6 in their last 16 games – seem increasingly impatient to play games that matter. 

How common is it for teams to build contenders out of the draft, as the Grizzlies are trying to do? Is Dillon Brooks vs. De'Anthony Melton an either/or choice this summer? These and more questions are fielded in the latest Grizzlies Mailbag. 

Chris Herrington is joined by Anthony Sain of Sports Illustrated Grizzlies Maven to talk about the Grizzlies’ winning streak, the emerging play of De’Anthony Melton and Dillon Brooks, Taylor Jenkins’ coaching and more. 

The Grizzlies are not aiming to just build a team for this year's playoffs. They are aiming to build a playoff team for many years to come.  And they gave Memphis fans another glimpse of it Tuesday night, as they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves.

With Ja Morant, Dillon Brooks and Jaren Jackson Jr. leading the way, the Grizzlies notched a 119-112 comeback win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

First-year head coach Taylor Jenkins talked about bringing a "pace and space" offense to the once ground-bound Grizzlies this season. In recent weeks, it's taken flight. 

The Grizzlies' perfect West Coast weekend moved them to within half a game of the conference's final playoff seed. 

Jae Crowder scored 27 points and the Memphis Grizzlies took advantage of Los Angeles star Paul George’s absence to rout the Clippers 140-114 on Saturday.

Chris Herrington and Geoff Calkins discuss the Grizzlies' recent good play, Zach Randolph’s retirement and the death of former NBA commissioner David Stern. 

The Grizzlies lost a 20-point first-quarter lead and committed too many turnovers in a close road loss. 

Is Ja Morant's recent slump a source of concern? Will the Grizzlies' retire Zach Randolph's jersey? Who's on the Grizzlies' all-decade team? 

How are the Grizzlies still in the playoff hunt? A bench coming together, big men back on track and a little help from their rivals are among the factors.
