Advice and prediction
This is another Celtics game where I plan to avoid the spread entirely. Boston +2 is tempting given how their last meeting with the Grizzlies played out, but this is also a Celtics team playing the second night of a back-to-back.
Instead, I’m taking the under 219.5. The Grizzlies haven’t scored more than 111 points in their last four games, and twice haven’t broken 100. The Grizz also have a top-10 defense by adjusted defensive rating, and the fatigued Celtics should be a bit slower on Monday.
Prediction: Celtics 107, Grizzlies 105
