The Memphis Grizzlies are facing a must-win game against defending NBA champion Boston Celtics on Monday night at the FedEx Forum. After a recent loss, Memphis sits fifth in the conference standings with just eight games left, putting their playoff seed at risk. The Grizzlies can still make a run for the two-seed but also risk falling to the eighth seed with two losses. With interim head coach Tuomas Iisalo adjusting to his new role, the team aims to secure a home playoff spot. Boston enters the game on an eight-game winning streak, having already clinched their playoff spot. To stay competitive, Memphis needs to get on a winning streak ahead of a tough schedule that includes Golden State and three road games.
