Boston Celtics vs. Memphis Grizzlies NBA Betting (Aug 11) Odds and Preview

Celtics Look to Jump on Free Falling Grizzles Tuesday on TNT

At the onset of the NBA, the bubble was justifiable Grizzlies paranoia. Memphis noticed more extra bubble teams in the West than in the East. It was seen as an obvious way to get the Pelicans into the playoffs. Which means that the Grizzlies would be out. On the whole, this “conspiracy theory” has much traction. That being said Memphis has hardly helped itself. Their NBA betting restart has exposed weaknesses. In reality, the Grizzlies are not serious contender material. On the other hand, the Celtics are top tier contenders. Boston’s defense and grit makes for a winning formula.
