Game Preview

Boston Celtics have 8 straight wins and look sharp and ready for the NBA playoffs. Their most recent victory was in San Antonio, where they beat the Spurs 121-111.

Celtics have the No.1 defense in the NBA, with only 106.1 points allowed per game. We didn’t see it against the Spurs in full power, but the offense did its job well. Jayson Tatum had 29 points and 10 boards, while Jrue Holiday scored 21.

Memphis Grizzlies have the best offense in the NBA, with 123.6 points scored. Though their chemistry is slowly falling apart, Taylor Jenkins’ departure from the head coaching position is the most recent development that will hurt them.

The Grizzlies have lost 5 of the last 6 NBA games, and they can’t seem to find the proper rhythm at the moment.

  • Boston Celtics have 8 straight victories.
  • The Celtics won the last 7 away NBA games.
  • Grizzlies are 1-5 AGAINST THE SPREAD in the last 6 games.
  • The TOTAL went OVER in 4 of the Memphis Grizzlies’ previous 6 contests.
