“Clash of Titans: Can the Celtics Conquer the Grizzlies While the Rockets Seek Revenge Against the Lakers?”

Finally, the Grizzlies have gotten stomped by tough competition. They are 4-14 straight up and 6-11-1 against the spread vs. teams with a winning rate of 60% or higher and a -4.0 spread differential. Memphis’s only win since St. Patty’s Day is vs. the Utah Jazz, who are tanking for a chance to pick Cooper Flagg in the 2025 NBA Draft.
