Opening Line & Total: Clippers -3.5 & 191.5 MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES (10-7) at LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS (9-6) The Magic blew the Pacers away, 102-83, and seemed to regain their offensive momentum. But he bounced back with 24 points on 8-for-14 shooting (5-for-7 from three) in Indiana on Tuesday. Anderson was shut out for the first time this season, missing all eight of his shots. Orlando was obviously burned by an awful shooting night from PF Ryan Anderson (16.8 PPG, 6.9 RPG) in Boston on Monday. And PF Brandon Bass (11.9 PPG, 6.5 RPG) came off the bench to burn his former team for 19 points and eight rebounds in the win over the Magic. SF Paul Pierce (16.5 PPG) is starting to heat up a bit, going for 34 points and 10 assists in Washington Sunday, then 19 points and seven assists in Monday’s win over Orlando. They topped 100 points in New York and Miami early in the year, and they’re shooting 45.0% from three away from home. The Celtics are 0-4 SU outside of Boston and Washington (where they’ve won twice) this season, but their offense generally hasn’t been the problem. They’ll also be without SF Mickael Pietrus (8.7 PPG) and C Jermaine O’Neal (5.6 RPG, 1.4 BPG) is questionable with a knee injury. They’ve hit 37.4% of their threes on the road, but only 35.6% at Amway Center.īoston is likely to have Rondo (15.0 PPG, 9.4 APG) back in the lineup after he missed three games with a wrist injury, but Allen (14.9 PPG) is not traveling with the team as he recovers from an ankle injury. A lot of teams that rely heavily on the three-pointer shoot much better in their own building, but that hasn’t been the case for Orlando the past two seasons. It was the Celtics’ third SU win in a row (2-0-1 ATS) over the Magic.
Orlando shot 24.6% from the field and turned it over 23 times with only Dwight Howard (18 points on 4-for-15 shooting from the field) scoring more than seven points.
On Monday, the Magic scored a franchise-low 56 points against a Celtics team that was without their starting backcourt of Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen, and were coming off a Sunday night road game. The Celtics embarrassed the Magic in Boston on Monday, and they’ll look to do it again when they visit Orlando Thursday night.
