Memphis Grizzlies vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers are the better team at home and need to take advantage of games like this to position themselves better in the standings. However, the 76ers have been in issues treading water since the injury to Embiid, and now Maxey is questionable with a concussion. The Memphis Grizzlies have a lengthy injury list of their own as well, but it’s been that case pretty much all year, and they’ve still found ways to compete. The Grizzlies have covered 6 of their last 9 games, and they’ve actually seen 14 of their 21 wins this season come on the road. I’ll take a stab with the Grizzlies and the points.
