NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Grizzlies: They are hit with a big loss of Bane

Desmond Bane was having a fantastic season and was providing the Grizzlies an incredible amount of scoring with his top-notch shooting skills. His presence kept the offense smooth and formed the highest-yielding backcourt alongside Morant. With him gone, the Grizzlies look like a much weaker unit despite having the likes of Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson, and Dillon Brooks. These three have had their strong impact but Bane provides the offense definition as the driving game of Morant needs someone like Bane who knock the long ball regularly to keep the defenses busy. In his absence, responsibilities on John Konchar and Tyus Jones have increased but both are not that much efficient and productive like Desmond.

Pelicans: Things seem to be clicking

The Pelicans have come into season with a big unit. They field three Forwards, namely Herbert Jones, Brandon Ingram, and Zion Williamson, big Jonas Valanciunas and CJ McCollum acts as the feeder, shifting from the role of an off-guard to basically running the Point. Inside scoring mostly comes from Zion, Ingram and McCollum both are capable iso players wherea Val pulls down rebounds and can also provide serviceable scoring output. The bench is one of the best with Jose Alvarado, Larry Nance Jr, Devonte Graham, Naji Marshall, and Trey Murphy. Neither does it compromise defense nor it cuts short on scoring, doing just enough.
