Memphis Grizzlies and Boston Celtics head-to-head record
The Celtics have controlled the series, defeating the Memphis Grizzlies four times in five meetings, according to their previous five head-to-head record. Boston's decisive 131-91 victory earlier in the season demonstrated their ability to overwhelm the Grizzlies, but Memphis secured a narrow 127-121 win at home in their most recent game on December 8, 2024. Additionally, the Celtics have won close games, including a 109-106 triumph in November 2022 and a 102-100 triumph in November 2023. The Celtics may have the advantage since Jayson Tatum is leading the way, and they have a solid 31-7 away record. Memphis, dominated by Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane, is still a strong opponent at home, though. The Grizzlies might present a serious threat if they can control the paint and make the most of their three-point shooting. Boston's experience and current achievements may tip the balance in their favor, so expect a close game.
