Celtics vs Grizzlies Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
BOS Celtics -15.0(-110)

With the news of Cade Cunningham expected to miss a couple of weeks at least, the Boston Celtics might still have a chance of getting that top seed in the East. The Pistons are 4 games ahead in the standings with 13 left, so anything can still happen. The Celtics are in Memphis on Friday, facing a Grizzlies team that they blew out 131-95 back in November. The spread is at 15 points this time around, a clear indicator of which direction this game will unfold. Apart from Nikola Vucevic being out, the Celtics are pretty much at full strength. They just recorded their third win in a row, beating the Warriors by 21 points at home.

Memphis is also coming off a win, a surprising upset triumph over the Denver Nuggets that ended an 8-game slide. It is worth pointing out that the Nuggets were playing on a second night of a back-to-back in that game, which might have contributed to their downfall a bit. The Grizzlies aren’t doing themselves any favors by winning games; they would be better off tanking the rest of the way and improving their draft positioning. Their injury situation has been terrible all year long. Ty Jerome is the biggest threat to the Celtics in this game after his 21 points and 9 rebounds against the Nuggets.

This should be all Boston. The C’s are by far the more in-form team and are also playing for something, unlike their counterpart. Over the past 20 meetings, we have seen 18 wins for the Celtics and just 2 for the Grizzlies — while at FedEx Forum, the last 5 have seen the Celtics win 4. With Boston covering in 14 of the last 20 games head-to-head, I feel confident it can do so again despite the big spread. Let’s back the road team.

Celtics vs Grizzlies prediction: Boston -15 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Hopefully we can make some money together! Oh, and I firmly believe Lebron James is not one of the two best basketball players of all time. Yeah, I said it.
