The Grizzlies vs. Celtics line was coming in at Boston -5 after opening at -8.5.

Grizzlies star Ja Morant has a Grade 2 left ankle sprain and is expected to miss 3-5 weeks, the team said Tuesday.

Morant scored a career-high 44 points in Memphis' opener and is averaging team-leading totals in points (26.3) and assists (6.3) in three games this season. He rolled his left ankle Monday while defending a shot by Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot late in the first half of the Grizzlies' 116-111 overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets in New York.

"With Ja going out, I'm going to have to step it up, Kyle (Anderson's) gotta step it up," Dillon Brooks said Monday, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal. "The next night, Tyus (Jones) has to step it up. We got guys that are ready to play and hungry to play."

Anderson recorded a career-high 28 points, Brooks added a season-best 24 and Jonas Valanciunas posted his third straight double-double (14 points, 14 rebounds) on Monday for the Grizzlies, who are already without Jaren Jackson Jr. and Justise Winslow.

Memphis earned their first victory of the season without him, outlasting the short-handed Brooklyn Nets 116-111 in overtime Monday night.

Jayson Tatum scored 27 points and the Boston Celtics rallied from 17 points down in the third quarter and beat the Indiana Pacers 116-111 on Tuesday night.
