All focus might be on Super Bowl Sunday today, but we still have a couple of NBA games to watch before that. The Memphis Grizzlies are in Boston to take on the Celtics for their 2nd and final meeting this season. Tip-off is at 2 pm ET on ABC, I've prepared a Same Game Parlay which you can find below.
We also have predictions on the side and total for Detroit Pistons vs Toronto Raptors on our NBA Predictions page, feel free to check those out as well!
Let's dive into my SGP bet now.
Boston Celtics 1 – 10 Win Margin (+170)
The Cs opened as 4-point favorites here, they've covered that line 4 times in their last 5 games and in 21 of 29 games played at TD Garden this season. Right now they are missing important players like Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown and possibly even Malcolm Brogdon, but they've been dominant in head-to-head meetings against the Grizzlies so that might not even matter here. The Celtics are 13-1 SU in the last 14 played, they've also covered the spread 10 times during that stretch vs Memphis and in games played at home they are currently on an 8-game win streak. The Grizzlies also have a key player out, Steven Adams hasn't played since January 23rd and without him in the line-up the Grizzlies have a losing record. Their interior defense has suffered a lot during this stretch, teams are averaging 53.7 rebounds a night against them in their last 3 games which is the 6th worst mark in the entire NBA. I am expecting a close game though, but the Celtics should take care of b usiness in the clutch in front of the home fans.
