Boston Celtics vs. Memphis Grizzlies prediction, odds, TV channel for November 7
The Boston Celtics are on a two-game win streak, and they’re looking to run it to three on Monday, November 7 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis to face the Grizzlies — who are 7-3 through their first 10 games.
Memphis has won its last three games, meaning they can push their own win streak to four by beating Boston on their home court. The Grizzlies have done that by winning without Jaren Jackson Jr., a 16-point per-game scorer last year who also averaged over two blocks per contest.
Of course, the Cs will be without Robert Williams III and will continue to be for the next two months due to arthroscopic knee surgery. Both teams have done well to shift to small-ball sets to compensate, making this a fascinating duel between postseason teams from a season ago.
That was when Ime Udoka coached as we know, and now Joe Mazzulla is in the driver’s seat for the Cs following the former’s suspension this past September. On the flipside, Taylor Jenkins, the fourth-year Grizzlies coach, is continuing the process of developing a burgeoning young squad that has gone from non-playoff contender to being first-round gentleman’s swept to reaching the second round last season.
Can Mazzulla pick up the victory against his first Western Conference opponent? Or will the Grizzlies continue their ascension towards the top of the Eastern Conference with Ja Morant leading the charge? Hardwood Houdini has your odds and a prediction for Monday night between the Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies on NBC Sports Boston, Bally Sports South, and NBA League Pass (all odds provided by WynnBET):

Celtics vs. Grizzlies prediction
Memphis has started out 4-0 at home, making the Celtics’ odds a bit, well, odd on November 7. Perhaps that has to do with the Grizzlies being on the second night of a back-to-back, but that’s often a red herring.
Instead, the Houdini is going to lean with the over, which has been a hot bet given Boston’s defensive woes and offensive dominance.
