Preview:
The Celtics remain a little battered and bruised ahead of their home game against Memphis, but I’m still happy to back them laying -7 to get the job done at home.
Kemba Walker is probable to play with left knee soreness, while the verdict on Jaylen Brown is less certain as he plays through a right ankle sprain. Even so, history suggests the Grizzlies should struggle in this one considering their last win in Boston came all the way back in 2013.
Memphis has thrown a real spanner in the works of the Western Conference, reclaiming the eight seed behind a 20-23 record. The Grizzlies have won only five of their last 10-games on the road however, making this is a big ask in a very tough environment.
The Celtics are 9-14 against the spread vs non-conference opponents this year and 4-0 straight-up against the Grizzlies over the last three seasons. These longer lines can sometimes be a bit daunting, but with the Celtics averaging the fifth-most points at home this year, it should be safe.
Odds:
Tip: Boston Celtics at $1.32
