Golden State is hoping to climb the standings, but for the Grizzlies, they’re in a different spot. Memphis (35-16) remains in sole possession of the No. 2 seed after a win against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. With that game now finished, all eyes have shifted to Thursday’s 2 p.m. trade deadline.

The Grizzlies' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Santi Aldama, who scored 23 points in addition to eight rebounds. Aldama is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
