The Boston Celtics certainly don't look the same as the big-3 have all moved on in Pierce, Garnett, and Allen. They don't even have their top retained player in Rajon Rondo, as he sits with a knee injury. That doesn't leave them with many good scoring options, especially vs. a team that likes to break their opponents will with strong defense, especially at home. Boston is going to be forced into a half court game here to try and survive, and I think the offenses will be limited in early opportunities before a more freelance second half. Memphis, as it is, has played 7-1 to the UNDER at home facing a team that has a winning percentage of less than .400. Make the play on the first half UNDER in this one.
