T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics.

I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Sunday. This is the final game of the regular season for both of these teams and both have already clinched their spot in the postseason this year but this game has a bit more importance for the Celtics here. The Grizzlies have already cemented their spot in 2nd place in the West and no one will be taking that spot from them but the East is still very close and this 1 game could shake up the current seeding going into the playoffs. I think the Celtics have incentive to win this game still since they can move up in the standings only 1 game behind the Bucks and they are also tied with the 76ers so a loss could actually mean dropping a spot. Ja Morant has been out for the Grizzlies over their past few games, he is healthy and ready to return but the Grizzlies should really be resting some of their star players getting them ready for the playoffs, especially the ones that have been hurt lately. The Celtics have been hot lately with 3 wins in a row but they just lost their most recent game to the Bucks which was a big loss for them considering the standings and I think they will try to bounce back here. The Grizzlies haven't looked that great lately losing 2 wins in a row before winning in their most recent game which was also the return of Ja Morant. They destroyed the Pelicans in that game by 20+ points putting up 140+ points themselves but they are also on a B2B here while the Celtics haven't played since Thursday and I think the Grizzlies are going to be tired here. I expect their stars to get less minutes in this game considering their spot in the standings and the B2B they are playing on so I like the rested Celtics to come in and end their season off with a win. I like the Celtics to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 117-110 Celtics.
