It's going to be a fun night in the NBA as all 30 teams are going to play. An interesting matchup is going to be in Memphis where the Grizzlies will host Boston Celtics. Memphis has 7 wins and 3 losses that give it 3rd position in the Western Conference while Boston is also the 3rd best team but in the Eastern Conference with 6 wins and 3 losses. In this matchup, I like the Celtics' chances better and I'm saying that they will cover the handicap.

Last night the Grizzlies had a game against Washington Wizards. Memphis had more than 20 point lead during the game but they blew it that caused us a winning bet but they managed to secure a victory in the end. It is a second back-to-back set for Memphis and in the previous one, they blew the 2nd game in Dallas as they were crushed. Boston had a day off after a good win in New York.

There's a real possibility that Memphis Steven Adams is going to miss this game. He injured his ankle during the game but was able to return. After the game though he said that the ankle isn't in the best situation. If he is going to miss the game, the team would be without a true center. It's not like the Celtics have a dangerous big guy but Memphis definitely will be affected in the rebounds where they are 3rd best this season. Al Horford missed the last game for Boston because of the rest and now he should be ready to roll.

The Celtics have been great offensively this season as their offensive rating is 2nd best. Memphis is 7th best on offense but on defense, both teams are next to each other. The net rating is better for Boston and the team shoots three-pointers better because the Celtics sit at 3rd position in 3-pointer % while Memphis is 6th best.

Boston has had 2nd hardest schedule so far as they have played against teams like the 76ers, Heat, Cavaliers, Bulls, Knicks, Wizards and Magic. Although Memphis has 7 wins, those have been against pretty weak teams - the Knicks, Rockets, Nets, Kings, Trail Blazers (without Lillard), Hornets and Wizards.

I don't see who's going to guard Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Guards on the Memphis roster are smaller and without Jaren Jackson Jr., there is no real threat in the paint as well. Yes, they have Steven Adams but he will guard Horford or Grant Williams on the corners although I would be surprised if Adams plays. On the other hand, Marcus Smart, Malcolm Brogdon and Derrick White will cause a lot of problems to Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks. Boston is going to win this one.

这将是NBA的一个有趣的夜晚，因为所有30支球队都将进行比赛。一场有趣的比赛将在灰熊主场迎战波士顿凯尔特人。灰熊7胜3负，排名西部第三，波士顿6胜3负，排名东部第三。在这场比赛中，我更喜欢凯尔特人的机会，我认为他们会克服障碍。

昨晚灰熊队与华盛顿奇才队进行了一场比赛。灰熊在比赛中领先超过20分，但他们搞砸了，让我们赌赢了，但他们最终设法获得了胜利。这是灰熊的第二场背靠背比赛，在之前的一场比赛中，他们在达拉斯的第二场比赛中惨败。波士顿在赢了纽约之后放了一天假。

灰熊队的史蒂文·亚当斯很有可能会错过这场比赛。他在比赛中扭伤了脚踝，但得以复出。赛后他说他的脚踝不是最好的状态。如果他缺席这场比赛，球队就没有一个真正的中锋了。凯尔特人并没有一个危险的大个子，但是灰熊在篮板方面肯定会受到影响，他们本赛季在篮板方面排名第三。阿尔·霍福德因为伤病错过了波士顿的最后一场比赛，现在他应该准备好上场了。

凯尔特人本赛季在进攻端表现出色，他们的进攻效率排在第二。灰熊在进攻上排名第七，但在防守上，两队不相上下。凯尔特人的净得分更好，球队的三分球命中率更好，因为凯尔特人的三分球命中率排在第三位，而灰熊的三分球命中率排在第六。

到目前为止，凯尔特人的赛程排在第二艰难，他们的对手包括76人、热火、骑士、公牛、尼克斯、奇才和魔术。虽然灰熊已经赢了7场，但这些对手都是相当弱的球队——尼克斯、火箭、篮网、国王、开拓者(没有利拉德)、黄蜂和奇才。

我不知道谁会去防守杰森·塔图姆和杰伦·布朗。灰熊队的后卫阵容都比较小，没有小贾伦·杰克逊，内线也没有真正的威胁。是的，他们有史蒂文·亚当斯，但他会在角球上防守霍福德或格兰特·威廉姆斯，不过如果亚当斯上场我会很惊讶。另一方面，马库斯-斯玛特、马尔科姆-布罗格登和德里克-怀特会给贾-莫兰特、德斯蒙德-贝恩和狄龙-布鲁克斯带来很多麻烦。波士顿会赢的。
