Guard James Harden is a masterful facilitator and scorer. Harden orchestrates the offense and knows how to set up his teammates for clean looks at the rim. The 10-time All-Star has a reliable jumper and has a knack for drawing contact. Harden leads the NBA in assists (10.8) along with 21.4 points per game, and on Feb. 13, he put up 28 points and 10 dimes.
Forward Tobias Harris is another efficient scoring option who often showcases his sweet shooting stroke from both mid-range and downtown. The Tennessee product has secure hands to pull down boards and is able to create his own offense. Harris logs 15.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and shoots 37% from three. On Feb. 5, he amassed 14 points and 10 boards.
Why the Grizzlies can cover
Guard Ja Morant is a dynamic and explosive playmaker who glides to the rim and finishes with force consistently. The two-time All-Star is eighth in the NBA in points (27.3) and fifth in assists (8.3). On Feb. 10, Morant dropped 32 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, and three steals.
Forward Jaren Jackson Jr. owns a combination of athleticism and length. Jackson plays elite defense in the paint and is able to defend wings on the perimeter with no problem. The Michigan State product can finish at the rim but also owns a jumper to space the floor. Jackson averages 16.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks per game. On Feb. 15, he totaled 26 points, nine rebounds, and four blocks while also knocking down four 3-pointers.
