True, but the Grizzlies will not have homecourt advantage in the first round what so ever, because it is locked for the Clippers due to winning their Division.

What that means, is that they are either gonne play vs Clips or Denver away from home, and even in the case they beat this team, they will end up playing OKC with a 99,9% probability, which would be an away first matchup anyways.

So getting the fourth spot does not really bring any advantage to the Grizzlies.

Home court goes by record, not seed. In 2006, the Nuggets were #3 and the Clippers #6, but the Clippers had home court because they had the better record.
