Matchup: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics will host the Memphis Grizzlies this Sunday in a one-sided cross-conference clash. The Celtics remain the top-dogs in the NBA with a record of 37-12 (75.5%), while the Grizzlies are 13th in the West at 18-31 (36.7%). Boston is heavily favored to beat Memphis, and will enter the contest with a huge point spread of 16-points. The Celtics are looking to bounce back from a devastating loss to the LA Lakers in the last home game, and a 16-point win is a tough ask, but against the ailing Memphis Grizzlies it’s within the realm of possibility. The Grizzlies have been plagued by injuries throughout the season, with Jaren Jackson Jr. the latest starter to go down in Memphis, and now the severely short-handed Grizzlies will look to somehow stay competitive against the NBA’s best team.

Grizzlies vs. Celtics Game Predictions
The Grizzlies have no chance in this one, as Boston prepares to defend their home court with a blowout win. I’m taking the Boston Celtics to cover the 16-points spread against the undermanned Memphis Grizzlies. Boston desperately needs a bounceback victory after their embarrassing loss to their bitter rivals, the LA Lakers, on Thursday. The Lakers were without Lebron James or Anthony Davis, yet they still managed to beat the Celtics at home. Boston is 22-3 (88%) at home, and the Celtics have an excellent opportunity to regain some confidence against the lowly Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies are missing Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, Victor Oladipo, and Jaren Jackson Jr., and these are just the most notable injuries. Santi Aldama and Luke Kennard are now the Grizzlies highest scoring players, but they each average just over 10 points per game. As a team, the Celtics average 120.1 points per game, and have 5 players averaging over 13-points per game. Boston will run the Grizzlies out of the gym, as this matchup has the potential to be the biggest blowout of the season.
Here are my picks for the Grizzlies vs. Celtics Sunday night matchup:
Moneyline Pick: Boston Celtics (-1450)
ATS Pick: Boston Celtics (-16)
O/U Pick: Under (221.5)
Score: Grizzlies 95; Celtics 120
