Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics prediction
The Boston Celtics obviously have the ability to blow the doors off here, but they’re also 23-24-2 ATS on the season and just lost to the Lakers without AD and LeBron as 15 point favorites. The Memphis Grizzlies are playing a G League roster at this point, but they’re playing hard and have covered 7 of their last 10 games. Oddsmakers don’t know how to read these Grizzlies because they don’t factor in heart. The Grizzlies are playing hard, as a lot of those guys are fighting for a chance to stay in the league. This line is nuts. Give me the Grizz and the points.
