Here’s how we are betting for the Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics tonight.

Best Bet for Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics

Best Bet: Boston Celtics -15 (-110)

Book: Best Price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics is Celtics -15 (-110) against the spread.

The Boston Celtics possess a strong 22-13 win-loss record on the road, and they are coming off a three-game winning streak. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, haven’t been able to do much, even at home. The Celtics have the second-best offense and the fifth-best defense in the league, whereas their rivals are struggling on both ends of the court.

The spread at Celtics -15 fits the visitors well considering their on-court dominance as well as the Grizzlies’ overall record.

Keeping all the aforementioned points in mind, we are comfortably laying the Boston Celtics -15 (-110) as our Best Bet, and expect the visitors to cover the number tonight.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: Boston Celtics -20.5 (alternate spread)
Leg 2: Jaylen Brown Over 25.5 points
Leg 3: Jayson Tatum Over 21.5 points

Combined odds: +857

We have built this same-game parlay around the Boston Celtics to win big over the Grizzlies. Brown has been leading the Celtics’ offense throughout this season, and Tatum has seemingly taken scoring responsibility for his side ever since his return.

These legs are correlated considering if the Celtics take control of the game right from the beginning, their players will get ample scoring opportunities. Thus, they will be able to finish with more volume. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
