August 11th Celtics at Grizzlies 6:30 PM

This game might not be as important in the standing as it is regarding the C’s possible draft pick.

Boston has a chance to have a lottery pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. This is all dependent on how the Grizzlies do in the final 8 games.

Basically, if the Grizzlies miss the playoffs the Celtics have a chance at a lottery pick.

The only thing stopping the C’s from getting a lottery pick then is if the Grizzlies somehow landed a top 6 pick. Then Boston would get an unprotected pick next season.

Boston’s main concern has to be handling Ja Morant. The rookie point guard is having a great season and seems to be a frontrunner for the Rookie of the Year award. Morant is averaging 17.6 points and 6.9 assists per game.

BOSTON CELTICS. 5-2. . .

Once again though The Celtics have too much overall talent and they should help their chances of getting a high draft pick this season. This should be another double-digit win for the C’s.

As they continue to get closer to the playoffs they should only get better. This seems like it could be a game where Kemba Walker could go off. After getting into the swing of things he should have some great performances.
