Boston Celtics vs. Memphis Grizzlies Preview
The Boston Celtics (55-19) and Memphis Grizzlies (44-30) are all set to square off from FedExForum in Memphis.
The Celtics continue to play great basketball. They have won eight straight games and nine of their last 10. Jayson Tatum is back from injury, but the Celtics may be without Jaylen Brown.
The Grizzlies are finally back to being a healthy squad. However, the biggest news comes from the head coach vacancy. Taylor Jenkins was relieved of his duties over the weekend. It was a move that caused a big stir, because the Grizzlies are fifth in the Western Conference.
The Celtics are currently 31-7 on the road with a point differential of 9, while the Grizzlies have a 4-6 record in their last ten games at home.

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is betting on the Celtics -5…
Thomas: “When the Grizzlies appoint a new head coach, that will be the game to take them. Not tonight. The Grizzlies are a team that, despite being 5th in the Western Conference, is on a bad run of form.
This Celtics team is great offensively and defensively. It’s a match-up nightmare for the Grizzlies, too.”
