The Boston Celtics (55-19) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (44-30) on Monday, March 31, 2025, at the FedEx Forum.

The Celtics and the Grizzlies face each other for the second time this season. In their first go-around, the Grizzlies etched a 127-121 victory. However, the wheels of fortune are now different for these two teams.

For one, the Celtics are riding an eight-game winning streak. Their defense has been superb in this stretch, as they've held their opponents to below 114 points each game. Meanwhile, their offensive rating has increased from a season average of 116.9 to 127.5.

On the flip side, the Grizzlies have had their share of struggles. They've lost five of their last six games, with their paltry defense doing the damage. Known in the past for their gritty defense, the Grizzlies' defensive rating in the last six games stands at a lowly 123.6. 

Moreover, it was just a few days after Memphis surprisingly fired its head coach Taylor Jenkins. With the team distracted by personnel turnover, they have to dig deep against a strong Boston squad.

Also, the Celtics will be fairly healthy against the Grizzlies. Only Jaylen Brown is listed on the injury report. Brown is deemed questionable, so there's still a high chance that he will play.

Our Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics Prediction

The Celtics are in playoff form at this stage of the season. They are on an eight-game winning streak, a span that saw them increase their offensive rating to 127.5.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are fresh off the firing of head coach Taylor Jenkins. Their defense has boggled down recently, a mishap when facing the Celtics' strong and efficient offense. The Grizzlies might find it difficult to keep up with their streaking opponents. Our prediction for the Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics match is: Celtics (-4.5) cover the spread.
