Boston Celtics at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Boston Celtics at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Boston Celtics (6-3) visit FedEx Forum on Monday to take on the Memphis Grizzlies (7-3). Tip is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Celtics vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Celtics are coming into this game following a solid 15-point road win over the New York Knicks on Saturday. Boston has been hot to start the season and is riding a 2-game win streak.

F Jayson Tatum has been the star for Boston and should be in the MVP conversation. He’s averaging 26.9 points per game and is shooting 45.3% from the field.

Memphis has an MVP candidate of its own in star G Ja Morant. The 4th-year guard is averaging 29 points per game and shooting 51% from the field and 50% from deep.

The Grizzlies had back-to-back losses against the Utah Jazz to end October, but have won 3 straight to start November, including a 103-97 win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday.

Celtics at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Celtics 115

Moneyline

PASS.

If I can get 3.5 points, then I’d prefer playing that to the moneyline value.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES +3.5 (-103).

The Grizzlies are good at many things that matter most when it comes to keeping games close. They rank No. 1 in offensive rebounding rate and No. 14 in turnover rate. On top of that, they sit 12th in effective field goal rate.

This team can do it all. Boston is in a similar situation with both teams struggling to defend, sitting 22nd (Memphis) and 23rd (Boston) in defensive rating.

The Grizzlies were 10-3 ATS as a home underdog last season and have yet to be in that position this season. Considering their strength at home and relative strength in impactful stats, I would back the Grizzlies +3.5 (-103).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 231.5 (-105).

The Celtics have the No. 2 effective field goal rate, and the Grizzlies rebound at a high rate.

With neither team a turnover-heavy side, and both in the middle of the pack in pace, I expect the opportunities each side has to be converted. These teams combined are 11-7-1 O/U this season.

Washington Wizards at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Wizards at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (6-3) welcome the Washington Wizards (4-5) to FedEx Forum Sunday. Tip is set for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wizards vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies are coming into this game as 1 of just 3 teams in the Western Conference with a perfect record at home (3-0). They have won 2 straight games, a 111-106 win Wednesday over the Portland Trail Blazers and a 130-99 thrashing of the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.

Memphis is led by star G Ja Morant, who is averaging 29 points per game and shooting 51% from the field. G Desmond Bane is averaging 24.1 points per game.

The Wizards will be down their star on Sunday with G Bradley Beal, who is averaging a team-high 21.6 points per game, in the league’s health and safety protocols.

After getting out to an ultra-hot start, the Wizards have now lost 4 of their last 5. However, they are still 2-2 on the road. They lost 128-86 to the Brooklyn Nets at home on Friday.

Wizards at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Wizards 104

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s just not much value here either way.

Against the spread

BET MEMPHIS -9.5 (-112).

While it might seem like a lot of points calling almost a double-digit victory, Memphis will be at home with the Wizards down their best player. Three of the Grizzlies’ 5 wins have been by double figures.

They are also the best offensive rebounding team in the league. Where Washington can’t keep up is just straight-up efficient with the Grizzlies 10th in effective field goal rate and the Wizards 21st.

Memphis is 2-1 ATS as a home favorite, and with a similar roster, it was 20-13 ATS as home favorite last season. Back the Grizzlies to come out by double figures

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 225.5 (-110).

Simply put, I don’t know where the Wizards scoring will come from. While F Kyle Kuzma and C Kristaps Porzingis are solid options, neither have the firepower that Beal does.

While Memphis does crash the glass, Washington sits 4th in defensive rebounding, so it should be able tame the Grizzlies’ 2nd-chance opportunities.

Neither team sits top 10 in pace either with the Wizards 27th. Back fewer points being scored as the inefficient Wizards should struggle against Memphis.

Memphis Grizzlies at Portland Trail Blazers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Portland Trail Blazers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (4-3) wrap up their 4-game road trip Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers (5-1). Tip-off is 10 p.m. ET at Moda Center (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Trail Blazers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies are coming off 2 straight losses on the road to the Utah Jazz. They were favored in both games. They are led by G Ja Morant’s 33.3 points per game and also are getting 24.2 PPG from G Desmond Bane.

The Blazers are off to a great start. They won their first 4 games of the season and, after a loss to the Miami Heat, bounced back with a 125-111 win over the Houston Rockets. They have been the favorite in only 1 of their games — their win over the Rockets.

Grizzlies at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 125, Trail Blazers 119

Moneyline

This should be a premier battle between two of the best point guards in the league in Morant and Lillard. However, Lillard is out, which makes this game much less likely that the Blazers can keep up.

The Grizzlies are averaging the 3rd-most points per game in the league and the Blazers will be missing their best player, although G Anfernee Simons can pick up some of the slack.

Expecting a Grizzlies win, the moneyline isn’t worth the action. PASS.

Against the spread

Lillard missed the Blazers’ last game and they won, but it was against the lowly Rockets.

Their 1 loss on the season was by 21 points. It is the only game in which they failed to cover the spread this season.

Memphis is only 2-5 ATS this season, but only 1 win has been by fewer than 5 points.

BET GRIZZLIES -4.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The projected total is only 226 points?

The Grizzlies have not had a game go Under that total this season. Three of the Blazers’ games this season have not reached 226 points.

The Grizzlies have a deadly offense, scoring 118.1 points per game and the Blazers aren’t far behind, averaging 115.3. The Grizzlies also allow more points than anyone in the league.

This is an easy pick. Bet OVER 226.5 (-112).

Memphis Grizzlies at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (4-2) take a trip to Salt Lake City to visit the Utah Jazz (5-2) Monday. Tipoff from Vivint Arena is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Jazz odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies come into this game off a 124-123 loss Saturday at this same Jazz team, failing to cover as 3.5-point favorites. Star G Ja Morant missed that game due to a non-covid-related illness. G Desmond Bane scored a phenomenal 32 points with 6 rebounds in Morant’s absence. The Grizzlies shot an astounding 44.4% from beyond the arc and 56.8% from the field in the loss.

The Jazz escaped with the win despite shooting worse from both the field (51.7%) and downtown (43.2%). F Kelly Olynyk and F Lauri Markkanen tied with a team-high 23 points. Olynk did so on 80% shooting from the field (8-of-10) whereas Markkanen shot 42.9% (9-of-21).

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Grizzlies at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 118, Grizzlies 104

Moneyline

LEAN JAZZ (+110).

This bet will hinge heavily on the health of the Grizzlies. If Morant and Bane play then the Grizzlies are way more likely to win this game, but if the Grizzlies are without their best players — and without their 3rd best player in Jackson Jr. — then they won’t have enough to beat this mostly healthy Jazz team.

Against the spread

LEAN JAZZ +2.5 (-112).

The Jazz should win this game if the stars for the Grizzlies do not play, but even if the stars play this bet is fairly safe. The Jazz are proving that they are not ready to enter rebuild mode just yet and are proving that they are a solid team in a loaded western conference.

Utah has shown that it can win against solid teams and I expect them to do that Monday.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 229.5 (-108).

Normally I would say to bet the Over in this game and I would feel very confident in doing so based on the fact that these teams would cover this over in almost every game each of them has played. However, because I have doubts about the Grizzlies’ health coming into this one I would bet my money on the Under.

When fully healthy the Grizzlies have one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league, but without their top scorers, they will be missing a lot of production. Couple that with the Jazz and their mediocrity on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball and the Under should be safer Monday.

Memphis Grizzlies at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (4-1) visit Salt Lake City to battle the Utah Jazz (4-2) Saturday at 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Jazz odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies could be without superstar PG Ja Morant, who is listed as “doubtful” with a non-COVID illness on the NBA injury report. They enter on a 2-game win streak, recently winning at Sacramento 125-110 as 2.5-point favorites Thursday — Morant did play and scored 22 points with 6 assists.

Utah is still looking to find itself after trading star G Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland in the offseason. The Jazz are coming off a 117-101 loss at Denver Friday. The Jazz were 7.5-point underdogs in the loss and are 3-3 against the spread (ATS) for the season. However, they are a perfect 2-0 straight up (SU) at home — and 1-1 ATS there.

With Morant iffy to play, the Jazz have a good opportunity to gain a victory against one of the top teams in the Western Conference.

If Morant sits, the Grizzlies will look to its supporting cast of C Steven Adams and SG Desmond Bane, who scored a game-high 31 points Thursday against the Kings — he had 38 the game before Monday in a 134-124 home win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Grizzlies at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 113, Jazz 102

Moneyline

AVOID.

Memphis’ 2 wins during its current streak were by 15 and 10 points, making me think the Grizzlies won’t have a problem covering the 3.5-point spread. Therefore, I’ll refrain from making a play here and instead focus on the spread.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -3.5 (-108).

I like the Grizzlies to win this game going away, making the -3.5 number a better value than the ML of -165. Even if Morant sits out, MEMPHIS -3.5 (-108) is my FAVORITE PLAY.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 225.5 (-112).

This will be a narrow escape. The Grizzlies are 4-1 O/U, while the Jazz are 2-4 O/U.

The Jazz, playing at home, will attempt to keep the pace at their comfort level. They should be able to do so. This will hold scoring down just enough to cash Under tickets.

Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (3-1) visit the Sacramento Kings (0-3) at Golden 1 Center Thursday. Tip is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Kings odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies come into this game off a 134-124 beatdown of the Brooklyn Nets Monday as 1-point favorites. Their other wins were by 3 points over New York Knicks to open the season and by 7 over the Houston Rockets Friday. Memphis lost to the Dallas Mavericks by 41 in between the Houston and Brooklyn victories.

Memphis is led by MVP candidate G Ja Morant. Morant is averaging 35.3 points per game and has scored 38 or more points in 2 of the 4 games. F Jaren Jackson Jr. has remained sidelined and is likely to remain so until early 2023.

The Kings have struggled to start the season and lost to the Golden State Warriors 130-125 Sunday, coving as 10-point underdogs. They also have a 2-point loss to the Los Angeles Clippers and a 7-point loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on their resume.

Sacramento is led by star G De’Aaron Fox, who is averaging 31.7 points per game and is shooting 59.4% from the field. First-round pick F Keegan Murray is 2nd on the team with 17.5 points per game on 54.2% shooting.

Grizzlies at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Kings 116

Moneyline

PASS.

This line seems like a trap as the 3-1 Grizzlies (-165) are clearly the better team. However, the Kings have kept games close this season, and I’d rather back them on the spread.

Against the spread

BET KINGS +3.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies have the league’s 24th-best net rating following their 41-point loss to the Mavericks. The winless Kings have taken on the defending champs and still sit 20th.

Memphis’ defense has taken a major blow this season with Jackson out, and will struggle on the road against a team that will look to push the pace and has been able to keep games close.

The Kings rank 11th in effective field goal percentage and are 7th in defensive rebounding rate which should limit what was a key strength for the Grizzlies last season.

Sacramento is the more rested side and at home, both of which should aid its ability to keep this game close.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 235.5 (-105).

The Grizzlies haven’t played well defensively this season, but Fox shooting 59% from the field is not a realistic percentage to sustain. The Kings are not the 11th-best shooting team in the NBA and should regress.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have actually slowed the pace this season, ranking 19th in the NBA. Expect a slow game and at least some shooting regression.

Brooklyn Nets at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Brooklyn Nets at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (2-1) welcome the Brooklyn Nets (1-1) to FedEx Forum Monday. Tip is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Nets vs. Grizzlies odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies have weathered the early storm without 2 key pieces — G Dillon Brooks and F Jaren Jackson Jr. JJJ will be out until the start of 2023, but Brooks could return soon.

The Grizzlies were destroyed on a nationally-televised game Saturday by the Dallas Mavericks 137-96. Other than that, they took down the Houston Rockets by 7 and beat the New YorkKnicks in overtime by 3.

The Nets lost to the New Orleans Pelicans in their season and home opener 130-108. They then took down the Raptors 109-105.

G Kyrie Irving found his rhythm after a tough 1st game, scoring 30 points. C Nic Claxton was an important factor, scoring 19 points and collecting 11 rebounds.

Nets at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 115, Nets 112

Moneyline

BET GRIZZLIES (-115).

The Nets had a rough opener against the Pelicans, but with G Ben Simmons returning and his rust, things looked much better against a solid Toronto Raptors team. The key problems still remain, and that’s on the glass.

The offensive rebounding rate for Memphis is 5th-best in the NBA, and the Nets rank 29th in defensive rebounding rate and were abused on the glass against the Pelicans.

Brooklyn also sits 19th in turnover rate, so taking on a strong defensive side with an isolation-heavy style of play may not bode well for the Nets.

Memphis was 24-9 straight up as a home favorite last season and was 20-13 ATS in those battles as well. Ultimately, taking the Grizzlies is my favorite play in this game.

Against the spread

PASS.

Give me the Grizzlies to win outright in this game and avoid playing the 1.5-point spread.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 232.5 (-110).

The Nets want to play through Irving and Kevin Durant which typically means not running a transition-heavy offense.

They sit 21st in the NBA in pace with the Grizzlies ranking 20th. Despite G Ja Morant‘s style of play, there aren’t a lot of others that get out in transition with the young star.

Expect a slower-paced game, and with this a total this high, I would back the Under 232.5 (-110).

Memphis Grizzlies at Dallas Mavericks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Dallas Mavericks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The rolling Memphis Grizzlies (2-0) visit their divisional opponent Dallas Mavericks (0-1) in Saturday night NBA action. Tipoff from American Airlines Center is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Mavericks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Star G Ja Morant is playing at an MVP level to start the season, averaging 41.5 ppg on 56% shooting from the floor with 8.5 apg. The Grizzlies are looking to show that they are serious contenders to win the Western Conference despite their youth. Many are picking this team to be a top-3 seed come playoff time, and they are looking to prove that here facing a tough Dallas team.

The Mavericks are looking to avoid an 0-2 start to the season with a win in this matchup. Led by star G Luka Doncic, who many have picked to win MVP, the Mavericks are a heavy contender in the Western Conference, especially after making it to the Conference Finals last year. Doncic leads the team in points, assists and rebounds per game. He is averaging 35 ppg, 9 rpg, and 6 apg. With newly added F Christian Wood by his side the Mavericks added a key piece that many feel give them a very good chance to win the West.

Grizzlies at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 103, Grizzlies 99

Moneyline

AVOID.

The moneyline here is far too risky of a bet for both sides. I don’t believe in the Mavericks being as heavily favored as they are, even as the home team. And even if I did I likely wouldn’t tell you to place money on a team that is this heavily favored. The risk here is not worth the reward.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES +5.5 (-108).

This is your best bet for this game. The Grizzlies are playing like a contender to win the Western Conference, and I don’t think that will change Saturday. Expect both Morant and Doncic to play high-caliber basketball, but in the end expect the Mavericks to pull this one out. With Wood playing well for the Mavericks he adds a lot on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor that the Mavericks were desperately missing last year.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 219.5 (-112).

This should be a great game where the stars for both teams show up to duel, but I still believe the Under here is safer than the Over. Both teams here have superb offensive firepower and are extremely well coached, but I believe that whichever team is able to put together more stops down the stretch will win this one. If this game surpasses the Over, then the Mavericks should win by a healthy margin, but I believe this one will be a close one and in order for that to happen I think this game needs to stay below the Under.

New York Knicks at Memphis Grizzlies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s New York Knicks at Memphis Grizzlies odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies welcome the New York Knicks to the FedExForum Wednesday as both teams open up their seasons. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Grizzlies odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.

After finishing 37-45 last year and missing the playoffs, the Knicks expect a better campaign this season. A key part of their hopeful turnaround is the offseason signing of PG Jalen Brunson, who signed a multi-year deal from the Dallas Mavericks. New York finished the year with a 20-21 away record, playing better on the road than it did at home (17-24).

The Grizzlies finished 2nd in the West last season with a 56-26 record behind star PG Ja Morant, who finished 7th in MVP voting in the 2021-22 season. Last season, Memphis went 30-11 at home and 26-15 on the road. Their season ended in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, giving up a 23-7 run to the Utah Jazz over the final 6 minutes of the game. Returning their young core in Morant, PF Jaren Jackson Jr., and SF Dillon Brooks, the Grizzlies will be playing with a vengeance this season with championship hopes. Jackson Jr. is out while Brooks is doubtful.

Knicks at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 113, Knicks 105

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Grizzlies in this matchup, but the moneyline value does not provide the rewards to make the play worth it.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -4.5 (-108).

Memphis is a young, but experienced team while the Knicks still have some work to do with a lot of looming questions coming off a disappointing year. Also, Brunson’s addition doesn’t do much to strengthen them defensively.

With a 30-11 home record last season, the Grizzlies have certainly proven they play well in front of the home crowd. Although they are facing a few key injuries, expect Morant to pick up the slack for an opening-night victory.

Memphis had the best ATS record in the league last season, finishing 59-34-1 while the Knicks finished 17th in the league with a 39-43 ATS record.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 226.5 (-112).

With opening night comes a lot of off-season implementation for both sides. The Grizzlies are playing without Jackson Jr. and Brooks and will look to SF Desmond Bane to knock down key shots while the Knicks will get their first looks with Brunson at the helm.

Last season, Memphis ended with a 47-43-4 O/U, good for 9th in the league, while the Knicks were 22nd overall with a 38-42-2 O/U record.

Memphis Grizzlies at Golden State Warriors Game 6 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (2-3) visit the Chase Center Friday to take on the Golden State Warriors (3-2) in Game 6 of their Western Conference semifinal series. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Grizzlies vs. Warriors odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Grizzlies are coming off a wildly impressive 134-95 victory over the Warriors. They owned the game from the start and ended with a +14 advantage on the offensive glass.0

Memphis has been aided in the series by the return of C Steven Adams. The No. 1 offensive rebounding team in the NBA during the regular season, the Grizzlies have found their angle to attack Golden State.

The Warriors come in with the second-best home record during the regular season and a 5-0 record during the playoffs, having covered just 1 of 2 home wins in this series.

Golden State has been led by 2-time MVP G Stephen Curry, who is averaging 26.7 points per game in the playoffs. It ranked second in eFG% during the regular season.

Grizzlies at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 112, Grizzlies 108

Money line

PASS.

If anything, Memphis’ payout at +280 is enticing, but I’d still rather play the spread and assume the Warriors, who are undefeated at home in the playoffs, close out the series.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

BET the GRIZZLIES +7.5 (-108).

The Grizzlies are one of the two top-6 teams in both offensive and defensive rating left in the playoffs (the Suns are the other). Along with their ability to excel without leading scorer Morant, Memphis will be playing for its postseason lives.

Coming off a 39-point victory and having abused the Warriors on the boards and forcing them into 22 turnovers, the Grizzlies should be primed to keep this game within 8.

Golden State hasn’t shot well this series and has too many flaws, mainly rebounding and turnovers, to bet on at this spread. The Warriors may be 5-0 at home in the playoffs, but are just 3-2 ATS.

The Grizzlies are too good on the boards to let this one be a blowout. Memphis +7.5 is my favorite bet of the game.

Over/Under

LEAN to the OVER 217.5 (-112).

The Over is 3-2 in this series with one team topping 130 in 2 of the last 3 games. Both teams shot under 32% from deep in the games that went under and both teams shot better than that throughout the course of the regular season.

Memphis also had 30 free throw attempts in Game 5 and should once again be able to own the paint. Golden State averaged the 3rd-most threes per game this season, so it’ll undoubtedly bounce back as well.

Combine it all, and I like the Over 217.5 here.
