Everything you need to know for Jazz vs. Grizzlies first-round series

The 2021 NBA Playoffs are set to get underway on Saturday, May 22 after the play-in tournament. The play-in tournament decided the 7 and 8 seeds in the Western Conference and who the Utah Jazz will end up playing in the first round of the playoffs.

The No. 1 Utah Jazz will face the No. 8 Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the Western Conference playoff. The Jazz enter the postseason as the top seed but have a few question marks in the back court. Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley are both banged up; Mitchell has an ankle sprain and Conley is still bugged by that dreaded hamstring. Both are expected to be ready for Game 1 of the first round but could be impacted a bit.

The Grizzlies arrive in this series fresh off two wins in the play-in tournament. Memphis finished ninth in the Western Conference and had to beat the tenth seeded Spurs and then the winner of the Lakers-Warriors game. The Grizzlies blew a double digit lead against Golden State, but escaped in overtime thanks to Ja Morant to advance.
