Celtics vs Grizzlies Preview

The Celtics record in Orlando has been satisfactory with two defeats and four wins. The side has lost only to the  Bucks and Heat. However, they would be a little worried about that, as they could come up against these two sides during the playoffs in the East.

The Grizzlies will go into the match with a 1-5 record which is disappointing. Their only win was against OKC Thunder and they have largely been uninspiring in the Bubble.

Ja Morant has been playing well but the Grizzlies seem to be asking a little too much of their rookie star. The Suns and Blazers are in great form and a defeat for the Grizzlies will ease things for the two sides.

Grizzlies star rookie Ja Morant and Jonas will be key players against Celtics. Morant scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists against the Raptors in the previous game.

The Celtics will go easy in the game and will probably rest their starters. Kemba Walker and Jayson Tatum are doing what they are good at and will be a threat to the opponents in the coming games. The duo will be crucial in the playoffs and thus the Celtics will want to not affect their rhythm too much and also avoid any injuries to them.

Jaylen Brown has been a revelation in the Bubble too and the Celtics owe a lot to us 3 point shooting.
