Matchup Breakdown
Memphis Grizzlies Outlook
Memphis is 4-8 and has dropped six of its last seven. Ja Morant posted 16 points and 10 assists against New York but committed eight turnovers. Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson Jr. each scored 19, while Jaylen Wells added 18. The Grizzlies rank 7th in assists per game (28.2) and 5th in free throw percentage (83.4%). Their three-point shooting (13.5 made per game) gives them a chance to stay competitive, but ball control and rebounding remain concerns.
Boston Celtics Outlook
Boston is 5-7 and looking to snap a two-game skid. Jaylen Brown leads the team with 27.7 PPG and had 24 against the Sixers, while Derrick White added 18 points and seven assists. The Celtics rank 2nd in points allowed (109.7) and lead the league in limiting opponent field goal attempts (83.2 per game). Jordan Walsh continues to impress off the bench, contributing across the board in extended minutes. Boston’s defensive structure and home-court edge could be decisive.
Key Matchup / Path to Victory
Memphis must protect the ball and get Morant into rhythm early. If Aldama and Jackson Jr. can stretch the floor, they can challenge Boston’s interior defense. The Celtics will look to pressure ball handlers and control pace through Brown and White. If they dominate the possession game and limit turnovers, they can pull away late.
