Celtics vs Grizzlies Analysis
A great game tonight between the Grizzlies and Celtics will take place in Boston tonight, and there are some big names in the prop betting world in this game. Let’s take a look at props and team totals to find some plays to fatten our bankrolls.
Celtics vs Grizzlies Team Totals
The Celtics team total tonight is 112.5 and I’ll pass on this one. Celtics have gone under two games in a row, but over the previous four games. We’re not really sure what to expect without Jaylen Brown.
But sign me up for Memphis over 110.5 points. Memphis has gone over this total in 14-straight games, and Morant is so dialed in now it seems he can score whenever needed. Smart is a good defender, but Derrick White starting is a downgrade on defense. This is also scripted to be a close game, so I don’t expect a blowout situation where starters sit.
Recommendation: Grizzlies’ Team Total Over 110.5 Points
Celtics vs Grizzlies Player Props
Jayson Tatum’s points + rebounds + assists total is 42.5, and without Jaylen Brown I’m not even sure that’s high enough. Last game that Brown got hurt in Tatum went for 33-7-8 for a 48 PRA, and he’ll be the No. 1 scoring option for sure for Boston tonight. No way I would take this under.
I will take the under on Desmond Bane under 17.5 points. He’s not been shooting well, and he’s gone under this total in seven out of ten games and all three games since the return from All-Star break.
I’ll also take Al Horford under 21.5 points + rebounds + assists. He’s gone under two in a row, and before that he got over his total against Brooklyn in a blowout. Steven Adams and Jaren Jackson will make his life difficult tonight.
Favorite Player Prop: Jayson Tatum Over 42.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
