- Analysis
- ASA NBA play on OVER 229.5 Boston Celtics at Memphis Grizzlies, 8:10pm ET - The Celtics are steamrolling to the playoffs with a 17-5 SU streak and face a Memphis team in full tank mode with a 1-8 SU record in their last nine games. We will use a hockey term to describe the current state of the Grizzlies defense and that’s a ‘sieve’ as they’ve allowed 122+ points in 6 of their last eight games. Of the span of the last 5 games the Grizzlies defense is 29th in defensive efficiency allowing an average of 1.246-points per possession. On the season the Grizz have the 24th rated FG% defense overall allowing 47.6% shooting by opponents but in their last 5-games they are allowing 51.1%. Memphis allows a ton of 3-point attempts and makes and not many teams do that better than the Celtics. Boston is 10th in 3PT%, 3rd in 3PT attempts and makes. Boston continues to be highly efficient on the offensive end of the court averaging 1.198-points per possession in their last 5-games and 1.204ppp on the season. Boston has put up 120 in their two prior games against the Warriors and Suns who are both significantly better than Memphis on that end of the court. Looking at the Grizz most recent games they’ve given up 126 to a Nets offense that is atrocious, 139 to an injury riddled 76ers team, 120 to Dallas and 132 to the Bulls. Boston is getting into the mid-120’s at a minimum which means we need the Grizzlies to get to 110 or more which they’ve done in 21 of their last 22 games. We expect plenty of points from these two teams to get to 230+ in this one. Bet OVER!
