The end of the regular season is about to begin and the Memphis Grizzlies will host the Boston Celtics to conclude an impressive season.
The Grizzlies stand a chance of setting a franchise record for most wins in a single regular season if they can keep their team against the hot Celtics. They currently tied with the Grizzlies 2012-13 for the most wins in a single season with 56. A 57 win would give this team the all-time record.
But achieving that victory will be an uphill battle. The Celtics have become one of the most dangerous teams in the entire league.
Boston is 14-4 since March 1, having made a remarkable turnaround after a season that started 2-5.
Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have been playing great basketball since March 1. Tatum averages 30.1 PPG, 6.7 RPG and 5.2 APG and Brown averages 23.8 PPG, 5.8 RPG and 3.8 APG.
Let's see what to expect in this exciting game between two of the best teams in the NBA this season.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Celtics Prediction Apr 10
The Memphis Grizzlies are playing back-to-back, having beaten the New Orleans Pelicans in Ja Morant's first appearance since sustaining a knee injury on March 18.
It's hard to predict what kind of coach Taylor Jenkins will use and how many minutes the key players will have in this match since the second seed is decided.
But my intuition tells me it'll give novice players over 25 minutes each, just to give them another round of pace, space and speed before the playoffs start.
The Grizzlies will have about a week off before the playoffs start, so there will be plenty of time to rest after this match.
The proud Grizzlies will surely love to win the title of greatest Memphis Grizzlies of all time and will do everything in their power to achieve the ultimate victory.
Prediction: Memphis 118, Celtics 107
