| Boston | 108.4 | 107.4 | 215.8 |
Prediction
Both sides have a lot of outs for this clash, but the Clippers have a significant amount of players out and have been struggling of late.
Boston has not been fantastic either, but they are at home and should get this one done. Jalen Brown could be an X-Factor if he gets hot.
Prediction – Boston Celtics (Win) ⭐
Los Angeles Lakers @ Memphis Grizzlies
Venue – FedExForum
Tip Off – 8pm EST
Season Record W/L
| Team | Win/Loss | Home | Away | Last 10 |

| LAL | 110.6 | 112.6 | 223.2 |
| Memphis | 111.1 | 108.6 | 219.7 |
Prediction
Both sides have players out, but the Grizzlies looked good in their last couple of wins and come up against a Lakers side without Russell Westbrook or Anthony Davis.
Lebron James will need a big match if they are any chance, and Memphis will be tough to roll over at home.
Prediction – Memphis Grizzlies (Win) ⭐⭐

Prediction
The Kings might be on a back to back, but they are at home and were pretty good in their win over the Thunder last night.
Tyrese Haliburton continues to impress and will make it challenging for a Mavericks side with a fair share of outs.
