The Memphis Grizzlies are playing their best basketball of the season coming into tonight’s matchup having won four of their last five games.
Having said that, it is going to take a Herculean effort from the young Grizzlies to take down the incendiary Boston Celtics, winners of 10 consecutive games heading into Week the regular season’s eighth week.

Boston got a well-balanced effort in its last game, beating the struggling Chicago Bulls 106-80 on Saturday as seven players reached double figures in scoring. Led by Rajon Rondo’s 16 points, seven rebounds and 14 assists, the Celtics cashed in for pro basketball betting enthusiasts as a 10-point road favorite while Rasheed Wallace and Eddie House each added 15 points in the win. Boston snapped a two-game ATS losing streak with the victory and has gone a solid 6-4 ATS over its last 10 games overall.

Memphis crushed the Miami Heat on Sunday, routing D-Wade and company 118-90 to strike pay dirt for pro basketball betting fanatics as a 6.5-point road underdog. Forward Rudy Gay scored a career-high 41 points for Memphis in the win while second-year center Marc Gasol added 16 points and 15 rebounds. Memphis has gone 3-2 ATS over its last five games and 5-5 ATS over its last 10 games overall.

Analysis: The Celtics are playing excellent basketball at both ends of the floor coming into this matchup and have covered the NBA moneyline in four of their last five road games.

Memphis has been very impressive lately and have some gifted players that I think they will give the Celtics all they can handle before folding down the stretch just a bit.

Memphis is playing for the second consecutive night and will be facing a well-rested Celtics team that is getting contributions from every player on the roster that plays meaningful minutes.

I know Boston has gone a miserable 4-13-1 ATS in the last 18 meetings against Memphis, but the C’s have gone 3-2 ATS over the last five games while winning each time out.

I say the Celtics get another well-rounded performance from its stars and bench players en route to a very narrow ATS cover tonight.

With our NBA expert picks on this game, we are laying the number and taking the Celtics -7.5. They just have too many weapons for the Grizzlies to handle, and they have been playing too well as of late.
