18. Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are beginning to play a bit better over the last two weeks and have two big wins over the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks. They’re 6-4 in their last 10 and are starting to look like the team many expected them to be before the season.
That said, that doesn’t mean all is solved for a team that seems like it has some unresolved locker room issues.
17. Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies are basically what all of us expected them to be at this point in the season. They’re floating around .500 and figure to be for the entire season. Ja Morant is great and the return of Dillon Brooks should certainly give this team a boast but for some reason, I still feel like this team is missing a legit No. 2 option.
