- What: NBA Regular Season Game
- When: March 31, 2025
- Who: Boston Celtics vs. Memphis Grizzlies
- Time: 4:30 p.m. PST
- Where: FedEx Forum (Memphis, TN)
On Monday, the Boston Celtics (55-19) will play the Memphis Grizzlies (44-30). The game will tip off at 4:30 p.m. PST at FedExForum.
The Grizzlies hold a 1-0 advantage in their seasonal matchups.
During this stretch, the Celtics are riding an impressive eight-game winning streak and have a 5-3 record against the spread (ATS).
Most recently, they secured a 121-111 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. They surpassed 231 points but did not cover the spread as 12.5-point favorites.
Forward Jayson Tatum was outstanding, contributing 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists.
Boston is positioned second in the Eastern Conference, trailing the top-ranked Cleveland Cavaliers by 4.5 games and holding an 8-game lead over the third-place New York Knicks.
On the other hand, the Grizzlies suffered a 134-127 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers in Memphis on Saturday. They failed to cover the spread as 1-point favorites despite the game going over the total of 237.5 points.
In his first game as interim coach, Tuomas Iisalo saw guard Desmond Bane lead the team with 29 points, while forward Jaren Jackson Jr. added 24.
Memphis is currently fifth in the Western Conference, just one game behind the fourth-place Lakers and one game ahead of the sixth-place Golden State Warriors.
In their previous encounter on December 7, Memphis managed to cover the spread as a 7-point underdog, winning 127-121 in Boston, with the total points surpassing 238.
Grizzlies guard Ja Morant delivered an impressive performance, finishing with 32 points, 9 assists, and 9 rebounds, while Celtics guard Jrue Holiday led his team with 23 points.
I don’t like what I’ve seen from the Grizzlies this last month, I think they continue to tumble down the Western Conference standings.
Best Bet: Celtics -4.5 points at -118 odds
