The Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies meet Saturday in NBA action at the FedExForum. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a 76ers vs Grizzlies prediction.

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers are starting to turn things around as they are now gunning for a fourth straight win after sneaking past the Heat in a 109-105 road win on Thursday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 37 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists, Joel Embiid added 29 points on 11 of 25 shooting while Kelly Oubre Jr chipped in with 18 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 46 percent from the field and 14 of 40 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they squandered a 16-point lead, but they played great defense in the fourth quarter to hold the Heat to just 10 points in the final 10:39 to escape with the gritty win.

Memphis Grizzlies

Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies are starting to heat up as they are now gunning for a fourth straight win after blowing past the Pistons in a 108-90 win last night. Trey Jesmison led the team with 17 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks on seven of nine shooting, Maozinha Pereira added 17 points off the bench while Scottie Pippen Jr chipped in with 16 points, seven assists and four steals. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 46 percent from the field and 10 of 31 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Pistons from the, dominating the first half by 57-38, before they made another run in the third quarter to push the margin out to 27 points at one stage. The Grizzlies will meet the Spurs and Cavs after this one.

Memphis Grizzlies Team Facts

  • The Grizzlies have won each of their last nine home games against the 76ers.
  • The Grizzlies have covered the spread in seven of their last eight home games against teams that held a winning record.
  • Each of the Grizzlies’ last five home games against Atlantic Division opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

Philadelphia 76ers Team Facts

  • The 76ers have lost each of their last nine games at FedExForum.
  • The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games after winning as underdogs.
  • Each of the 76ers’ last six road games on the first leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total points line.

76ers vs Grizzlies prediction

The 76ers could be missing a few players with Tyrese Maxey, Mo Bamba, Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris all listed as questionable. The Grizzlies are still missing a bunch of players including Marcus Smart, Derrick Rose, Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. This is definitely a game where you want to check the lineups before tipoff as the 76ers have plenty of players under an injury cloud. However, the Grizzlies are playing their second game of a back to back set, and I think the 76ers can take advantage, whoever shows up for this one.
