Break up the Grizzlies! They're 2-1 in their last three games and they're the right play when they host the Boston Celtics tonight in Memphis.
The Grizzlies appear to have a bit more bite under the lead of new head coach Tony Barone. They have also dominated the Celtics in this series, going 16-3-1 ATS in the last 20 meetings.
Memphis (8-25) shot over 55% in their 144-135 win on Wednesday over the Golden State Warriors, including a 54.5% showing from long range on 12-for-22 shooting. Mike Miller had his second consecutive 30-point effort in the game with a season-best 33 points, and Stromile Swift also set his season high with 26.
The Grizzlies have now won two of their last three and are 2-0-1 at the window along the way.
Boston (11-20) enters this contest with just one win in their last eight games and have covered just three times in that 8-game span. The Celtics are coming off a loss at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 107-104.
Look for Memphis to crank it up here again tonight.
Play: Grizzlies -6½
