The Grizzlies and the Celtics are currently surging in the standings. Memphis is backed by rising superstar Ja Morant, who put up 52 points in his last game, while Boston has suddenly become a favorite to win the Eastern Conference. With the two title contenders facing off tonight, the Crossover staff answers a few questions.
