76ers vs Grizzlies prediction
The 76ers are the more talented team, and they need to win as they're fighting to stay out of the play-in tournament. The 76ers should be favored. However, I'm not sure about double-digit chalk. The 76ers enter this game with a questionable Embiid, Maxey, Harris and Bamba. Even if Embiid plays, the 76ers are being careful with his minutes as he works his way back. The Grizzlies may be playing a G League level roster, but they continue to play hard and that's led to 3 straight wins. The Grizzlies upset the 76ers a month ago, and have won 5 of the last 7 games against Philly overall. This is a ton of points. Give me the Grizzlies.
