Grizzlies at Celtics
(NBA) Grizzlies (MEM) vs. Celtics (BOS),
Point Spread: 7.00 | -114.00 Grizzlies (MEM) (Away)
Result: Win
Schedule dynamics here make us think the Grizzlies are worth a hard look at TD Garden. Note that the Celtics will take the floor less than 24 hours after a rousing comeback win over the Bucks on Friday, and games after facing Milwaukee have proven more than a bit dicey for Boston, which lost outright to the underdog Pacers and Hawks earlier this season after beating Milwaukee. As for Memphis, it could be excused for thinking it has a score to settle after the Celtics ran up a 40-point win in the most-recent Memphis visit last February 4, when the Grizzlies were woefully shorthanded as thirteen were on the injured lost and only eight suited up. In the earlier meeting on November 19 last year, Memphis, though still minus Ja Morant, was closer to full strength and played Boston to within 2 points at FedEx Forum. The Griz enters tonight with almost all hands on deck and having won seven of eight. Play Grizzlies
