The final day of the NBA regular season has arrived, and for multiple teams, there is still much to play for today.
For the Memphis Grizzlies, they have already locked up the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. After their road matchup against the Boston Celtics, they will keep a close watch on the upcoming NBA play-in tournament to see on which team will end up being slotted in as the No. 7 seed.
On the other hand, the Celtics do head into today’s matchup with the chance to finish the season as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. A victory for the Celtics against Memphis coupled with a Cleveland Cavaliers win over the Milwaukee Bucks would gift Boston the No. 2 seed.
At the least for the Celtics, their part in this task will be a bit easier to accomplish.
Ahead of today’s game between the Grizzlies and Celtics, Memphis officially ruled out five players due to either minor injury concerns or injury management. Ja Morant (return from injury management, right knee soreness), Steven Adams (left ankle soreness), Dillon Brooks (right hip soreness), Jaren Jackson Jr. (left thigh soreness) and Tyus Jones (left hand soreness) all featured in the 27-point win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday, but they will not play against the Celtics.
More so, Desmond Bane (left foot soreness) and Brandon Clarke (right thigh contusion) are not dealing with any notable injury concerns, but they have been listed as questionable for the game.
The Celtics sure will keep an eye on the Bucks’ game against the Cavaliers, especially as Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton have been ruled out for the road contest.
From the Grizzlies’ perspective, all eyes are now on their upcoming and much-anticipated playoff run.
