The reward for getting the West's No. 8 seed through the play-in format? A first-round series vs. Oklahoma City, which set a franchise mark for wins.

Ja Morant, playing with a sprained right ankle, scored 22 points, and the Grizzlies rolled past the Mavericks 120-106 to secure the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

Morant suffered his ankle injury in the third quarter of the Grizzlies' Tuesday play-in loss to the Golden State Warriors. Charania reported that Morant received an injection to combat the swelling in his ankle on Thursday. He sat out practice that day and was a game-time decision on Friday.
