Memphis Grizzlies are exceeding expectations in the beginning of the NBA season and owe a big part of their success to Marc Gasol.

Marc Gasol is a Memphis Grizzlies player since 2008. In comparison with this year, most of the previous seasons his team’s goals were a lot higher. The Tennesseans might not be gunning for title glory in 2018-19, but 33-year-old Gasol just might be able to propel them to the later stages of the playoffs.

Despite having a somewhat tough time against Joel Embiid, he scored 18 points Saturday night and raised his season average to 14.2. He also got 12 rebounds in his team overtime win against the depleted and fatigued Philadelphia 76ers. He added six assists and continued his impressive steal steak with two during his 41 minute playing time.
