Can the Grizzlies (the GRIZZLIES) hold on to a playoff berth? Can the Lakers get healthy and get first-round home court advantage? Can the Midwest send SIX of their seven teams into the playoffs?

Yes, yes, and yes.
Lakers have never had as much depth as say, the Mavs and Kings, but they still won three titles in a row. This year's team is deeper than ever, and with the recent injuries, the bench has been forced to learn how to play and improve. This should help them in the long run.
It's pretty simple: When the Lakers play defense, they win.
