Grizzlies vs Celtics Prediction & Pick

Memphis matched a Summer League record with 120 points scored in its most recent game. An offense filled with talented playmakers like rookie David Roddy and second-year pro Xavier Tillman is firing on all cylinders right now. The Grizzlies' tendency to be hit-or-miss from long range is a bit worrisome, though.

Boston runs a small rotation and each of their five starters played at least 28 minutes on Tuesday night. That's because spots on the bench remain open for the regular season. The Celtics entered their most recent game as 6.5-point underdogs and came out on top, which goes to show they aren't messing around.

I'll take a chance on the Celtics to cover the +5.5 spread in this one (-112).
