Memphis come off a comfortable 20 point win over the Wizards on Sunday and will aim for their 4th win on the trot when they head to Philly. Ja Morant was recently added to the West starting lineup for the All-Star game and he celebrated with another dominant outing against Washington with 34 points. He’s now scored 30+ in 6 straight outings and will be looking to take advantage in this matchup against Maxey.<\/span><\/p>\n The 76ers will be after their 5th straight win on Tuesday against the Grizzlies. Joel Embiid continued his impressive scoring streak against the Kings on Sunday with his 17th straight game of 25 points or more. There will be extra motivation for the 76ers to get another victory after the Grizzlies smashed them earlier this season, 126-91. But with Memphis in great form as well, this will be another challenging matchup.<\/span><\/p>\n Memphis look great value in this matchup as one of the form teams in the NBA, mainly behind the play of Ja Morant. The Grizzlies also beat the 76ers by 35 pts in mid-December and they’ve won 14 of the last 17 meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n The 76ers are 5-1 in their last 6 home games. The Grizzlies have won 8 of their last 11 in Philadelphia.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n Memphis has won the last 3 meetings and hold a 7-3 record since 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Memphis Grizzlies +3.5 = $1.89<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Heat come off an epic triple-overtime clash against the Raptors but they couldn’t get over the line in the 124-120 defeat. However, Jimmy Butler showed no signs of his toe injury as he finished with a huge triple-double (37 pts \/ 14 rbs \/ 10 asts). So he’ll need more of the same against Boston, especially with Kyle Lowry out of the lineup. However, there is a question mark over Butler’s injury status for this matchup, so that will be something to monitor before tip-off.<\/span><\/p>\n Boston are finally above the .500 mark after 3 wins in their last 4 games. Tatum comes off 38 pts \/ 8 rbs \/ 7 asts against the Pelicans as the Celtics cruised to a 107-97 victory. Jaylen Brown also added 31 points in the win. With Tatum and Brown firing at the same time, this is great news for Boston as they look to get into the top 6 standings in the East. This will also be a key game against the Heat, who are above them in the standings.<\/span><\/p>\n A lot will depend on the injury status of Jimmy Butler and we’d expect the Heat to be cautious with their star player. So considering the Celtics conceded just 78 pts against the Heat in November, Boston looks good value to cover on their home court. They’ve won 5 of their last 7 at home and the Tatum\/Brown combination will likely be the key to another victory.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Boston has 5 of their last 7 at TD Garden. Miami holds a 4-1 record in Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\nMiami Heat (32-18) at Boston Celtics (26-25)<\/b><\/h3>\n
