Grizzly Bear Blues: for Memphis Grizzlies fans

The Grizzlies were able to rest their starters majority if not all of the 4th quarter on Wednesday against the Rockets, so they should be well rested tonight to take on the top seeded Nuggets. We saw these two go at it just last week when the Grizzlies held the Nuggets to under 100 points in a very impressive win - but this go around will be much tougher as the Nuggets are the best team in the NBA at home. We cover bets such as:

Grizzlies +5.5

O/U 234

Bane O/U 4.5 rebounds

JJJ O/U 2.5 blocks

Dillon Brooks O/U 11.5 points

Grizzlies -10

No LeBron James tonight for the Lakers will be disappointing for the fans in Memphis, but the Grizzlies will see it as a chance to pick up a very important home win against a Western Conference opponent. The win against the Nuggets should be great for the groups confidence, so now it is time to put it together for multiple games in order to find the flow down the stretch.

We discuss a bunch of great bets tonight including:

Grizzlies -9

O/U 230.5

Ja O/U 8.5 assists

Anthony Davis O/U 12.5 rebounds

Grizzlies TT O/U 120.5

All odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, the official sportsbook partner of SB Nation.

The Core Four this week touches on Ja and Jaren's All-Star appearances, how to fix the All-Star Game, and look at what the Grizzlies have to do in the second half of the season to compete for a title.

In Embrace Debate, the guys try to fix the All-Star game. Matt gives new incentive possibilities but, Dave and Xavier don't think players should need to be incentivized. Everybody agrees the All-Star game was disappointing and has lost its appeal. How much longer will the league let it go on?

The guys then shift their focus to the second half of the Grizzlies season. Dave is doubtful the Grizzlies can hang on to the two seed if they don't find some stability. Matt gives the Grizzlies a slogan to live by in the second half. Xavier looks at the rest of the tough Western Conference.

In this week's trophy case, the C4 boys give out awards for All-Star weekend. Matt gives out the corniest trophy, Dave believes Jokic's MVPs won't age well and Xavier gives the slam dunk champion his props.

To close out the show the guys do an extended Top Four NBA Title Contenders Ranked by the College Football Playoff Committee to see where everyone has the Grizzlies currently. Last week's rankings were the first time in four rankings that Memphis was not mentioned on the show. Are people now too cold on the Grizzlies?

Then, we talk about Jaren Jackson Jr.'s All-Star case and why he deserves to be there over others. Finally, we end with some talk about Kenneth Lofton Jr. who will be participating in the Rising Stars Game from the Memphis Hustle.

It's the Core Four's first episode post-trade deadline and just like the Grizzlies, the C4 Boys bring in a new guy to add a spark. To open the show, he asks Dave his takeaway from the Boston game Sunday and Dave believes the Grizzlies can't win the big ones. Xavier gives his prediction and what to expect against Utah.

In Embrace Debate, Matt asks the guys: Did the Grizzlies do enough at the trade deadline? The only trade they made added some much-needed shooting and what they gave up didn't impact team chemistry. Luke Kennard may not have gotten Dave as excited as some other targets but he is a good addition.

For the Top 4 NBA Title Contenders Ranked by the College Football Playoff Committee, the guys have the same top three; Boston, Milwaukee, and Denver have separated themselves from the rest. The debate comes at the four spot - plenty of teams made moves to go for a title right now, is it enough to land any of them at number four?

At the trophy case, the guys give out some hardware. Ja Morant receives two honors and Kyrie has become a movie villain. Matt sings the praises of some of the great reunions the trade deadline brought.

In the Interview, former Grizzly Bear Blues editor Joe Mullinax goes one-on-one with Dave. Joe shares his experiences at GBB and as a Grizzlies fan and they hit every part of the Grizzlies season through the All-Star Break.

The Grizzlies look to avenge their Super Bowl Sunday woes against the Utah Jazz tonight in the Forum. Ja and JJJ will be off to Utah following this game, so the Grizzlies will look to head into the break on a high then take some much needed time to get healthy before the home stretch of the season. We discuss bets such as:

Grizzlies -10

O/U 239

Bane O/U 4.5 rebounds

Grizzlies TT O/U 124.5

Tillman O/U 8.5 points

The Grizzlies did not end up doing as much at the trade deadline as most people would have expected, Danny Green for Luke Kennard was the only move we saw the team make. It is now up to the players who have been there to get everything back on track and start winning games as we near the All Star break. The Timberwolves come in town with a new point guard and injured bigs, so this is a good spot for Memphis to be in going into tonight.

Grizzlies -7

O/U 234.5

Ja Morant O/U 8.5 assists

Bane O/U 2.5 threes

ANT O/U 29.5 points
