Memphis Grizzlies VS Boston Celtics. The NBA pick to win the game is the Boston Celtics -9.5. Memphis is in a terrible position and isn’t on the top of their game without Jaren Jackson. And with Ja Morrant expected to be missing out on the next match, the Grizzlies will scramble to score with their lacking offensive line. The Celtics also have their injuries to deal with. But their recent victory against the Indiana Pacers proved that it is a resilient team that can persevere amidst difficulties to win this outing at 118-106.
