Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics: Current situation
The Western Conference playoff race is heating up and the Grizzlies just lost a potentially crucial game to the LA Lakers at home on Saturday. They’ve now dropped to 44-30 for the season and currently occupy the 5th seed. The firing of head coach Taylor Jenkins came at a very unusual time, it’s hard to remember when a team got rid of their head coach with just 8 games left in the season.
With 8 games left the Celtics are likely to finish 2nd in the East, as they are 4 games back of the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 55-19 record. Not having the best record means that they will go on the road in the first 2 games of the East Finals vs Cleveland, if it comes to that. However, for the defending champions that makes no difference whatsoever, they are by all accounts the team to beat in the East.
Memphis Grizzlies Stats & Form
A total of 3 Memphis players went for 20+ points in the Grizzlies 134-127 loss to the Lakers on Saturday, their 4th in the last 5 games. Seeing Ja Morant back in the line-up was a positive though, their playoff hopes lie in the hands of the talented point guard, but with an interim head coach you have to wonder how far this team can go in the postseason.
Boston Celtics Stats & Form
Boston continued their very successful road trip with another 10 point win over San Antonio on Saturday. Jayson Tatum returned to the line-up following an ankle injury, that was a very positive turn of events for Boston fans who were worried he could miss a couple of weeks of play. Monday’s game will see the Cs finish off the West coast trip, they have an opportunity to go a flawless 6-0 SU with a win here.
Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics: Head-to-Head

Betting tip and prediction: Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics (31.03.2025)
The Memphis Grizzlies are in a rut right now and there’s just no other way around it. You have to wonder what the front office was thinking when they fired their head coach Taylor Jenkins with less than 10 games remaining in the regular season. There has to be a deeper issue at hand here, something that the public was no made aware of, likely to maintain the piece inside the locker room. However, with that type of atmosphere around the team, we could very well see the Grizzlies flame out as early as the first round in the NBA playoffs. Meanwhile, the Celtics have bigger goals in mind as they look to finish off a very successful West coast road trip where they are a perfect 5-0 so far, winning all 5 games by double-digits. As we get closer to the postseason, Joe Mazzulla’s men are ramping up their preparation for a title defense. Tatum’s return to the line-up is a big deal, it shows the type of character he is, willing to sacrifice his body for the good of the team. For Monday’s game the Celtics will be without Payton Pritchard and Al Horford, but the deepest team in the NBA is more than capable of overcome those two absences here. In their last 8 visits to Memphis the Celtics have lost just once, plus they are 12-6 ATS in the last 18 meetings, winning 16 of them. We recommend backing the defending champions here.
