Celtics vs Grizzlies Prediction

I don’t want to get behind the Grizzlies as much as the next guy, as I’ve been fading them a lot, especially lately with the Morant saga. However, the Celtics aren’t lighting the world on fire, either. Both teams are trying to figure things out, and it doesn’t help they’re on the end of a back-to-back. There are better options out there on a stacked NBA card, but if forced to pick, I’m going to close my eyes and grab the points. The Celtics shouldn’t be this big of a favorite against anybody in their current form.
