Boston Celtics vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The Grizzlies are worth a look in the home dog spot, considering it looks like they’ll have Ja back. The Celtics could also be without Brown. With that said, the Grizzlies have been hit or miss for a while now, and they’re 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Grizzlies also just fired their coach a couple of weeks before the playoff start. The Grizzlies are just giving out bad vibes while the Celtics keep piling up the wins. I’m going to side with the Celtics and the reasonable number.
