The Memphis Grizzlies are now nine games over .500 with their win on Saturday night.

JaMychal Green, in the absence of Marc Gasol, led the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night with 29 points in their 107-99 win against the Timberwolves.

Gasol didn’t travel with the team to Minnesota (rest).

Tony Allen and Chandler Parsons also didn’t play due to coach’s decision.

Mike Conley had another solid night for the Grizzlies, scoring 20 points and adding eight assists.

Memphis is now sixth in the Western Conference standings. They are a game and a half behind the fifth place Los Angeles Clippers.

Only three games separates fourth and seventh place in the Western Conference.

(For what it’s worth, the Grizzlies would be in third place in the Eastern Conference standings.)
