Memphis Grizzlies vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers have been a mess this season and aren’t a team I’m excited to back in the favorite role. However, the 76ers are getting healthier and there’s even a chance Maxey returns as he’s listed as questionable. The Memphis Grizzlies are on the end of a back to back and that’s likely going to be hell for a team without Morant, Smart, Jackson, Edey and others. We’re laying a bucket. Give me the 76ers.
