The Memphis Grizzlies are still the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, but February struggles resulted in the team falling further behind the top-seeded Denver Nuggets and closer to the Sacramento Kings.

An upcoming stretch of games against Western Conference foes that includes five of six games being nationally televised will be one of the most critical periods of the season. The stretch starts with the Nuggets, then the Grizzlies will head to Los Angeles for games against the Clippers and Lakers.

In this Grizzlies podcast, reporters Damichael Cole and Evan Barnes discuss what this stretch of games means for the Grizzlies, Ja Morant, Dillon Brooks and more.
