Odds, analysis and best best bets for the Boston Celtics vs Memphis Grizzlies at 7pm ET on Sunday, Apr 10 in Memphis. Can the Grizzlies upset the odds?

Since the Grizzlies don’t have much to play for, Boston will likely come out with more of a sense of urgency to win the game and it should be able to do just that. Sunday’s game features teams in two different mindsets on the final day of the regular season. With some players still getting fully healthy and the Grizzlies already wrapping up the second seed, we could see some players sit out and rest to prepare for the playoffs. Going into Sunday, Boston is tied with the Philadelphia 76ers for the third seed in the conference and just one game back of the second seed Milwaukee. On the other side, the Grizzlies rank fifth in the league in offensive rating and are third in points per game. Since the All-Star break, Memphis holds a record of 15-6 and are 13-4 over the last 17 contests.

Hardwood Houdini has come up with a blockbuster trade proposal that lands Ja Morant on the Boston Celtics in the offseason.

Memphis similarly rose meteorically during the season’s second half but can also be due for a letdown. The wrong postseason matchup could certainly do the trick. In general, the future is a more interesting place to look regarding these two teams than an ultimately meaningless regular-season finale.

The Grizzlies have a top-5 defense and rank 1st in rebounds per game, so the Celtics will need to be disciplined in their offensive execution tonight because second chance opportunities will be limited. The Grizzlies are a well-balanced roster with limited weaknesses, and in order to limit their effectiveness, the Celtics will need to limit the space in the mid-range that we usually see created by drop defense, while also ensuring they limit mismatch opportunities on the low-block. But, if you want to be an NBA champion, you have to beat the creme de la creme sooner or later, so I would expect to see Boston come out hot tonight, as they bid to show the world they’re genuine contenders in the upcoming playoffs. Both the Celtics and the Grizzlies are guaranteed a spot in the postseason, and neither is in danger of sliding into a play-in position. Sometimes, Boston will go supernova from deep, and other times, they can’t buy a bucket on the perimeter and need to attack the rim with reckless abandon, that’s just how it is. With Robert Williams healthy, the Celtics can combat the Grizzlies quite well, but if Jenkins decides to field a full-strength roster, playing a bunch of drop defense could be the Celtics' undoing.

The Boston Celtics finish off the 2021-22 season on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies looking to avoid consecutive losses.

I like Boston winning this, but the Houdini is hesitant to lay the 5.5 points. Celtics vs. The over/under for the game has been placed at 227.5 points. It’s been a long journey, Boston Celtics fans. It isn’t likely Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins will be having his core group play two nights in a row, though. That wouldn’t be ideal considering the Toronto Raptors sit in the No. 5 slot, and visiting Canada could potentially mean some unvaccinated Celtics won’t be eligible to play.

Tatum took command of the proceedings as play began, scoring 14 points in his first nine minutes of play to get the Celtics rolling. The result of the Sixers-Pistons game ultimately lost importance, however. The Grizzlies weren’t content to roll over despite the sizeable halftime deficit. Jaylen Brown added on 18 points of his own in just 23 minutes, and the Celtics comfortably fended off a Grizzlies team that rested most of their regular rotation. The run came despite sizable disparities in both turnovers and free throws, as the Celtics were uncharacteristically wild with the ball, coughing up 11 turnovers, and recorded seven free throw attempts against Memphis’ 18.
