• The Celtics have won each of their last 13 home games on the second leg of a back-to-back.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics Prediction

The Boston Celtics obviously could smoke any team in the league when they’re right, but they’ve been banged up lately and are on the end of a back-to-back. Don’t be surprised if some players sit, and it’s why lines have been slow to come out. Check the injury report before betting. Also, the Celtics are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Memphis Grizzlies are rested, and healthier than they’ve been in the past, and they’ve covered 7 of their last 10 games. If the Celtics are missing a starter or two, the Grizzlies could steal this one outright. At the time of this writing, give me the Grizz and the points.
