Smart Game Analysis
Philadelphia 76ers has a 58% chance of winning the game
Despite a three-game losing streak, the 76ers hold the advantage as the Grizzlies face a severe depth crisis with seven confirmed absences including key starters.
Key Analysis
- • Memphis is without starting center Zach Edey and key defender Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, leaving them critically thin in the frontcourt and on the wing.
- • Tyrese Maxey is averaging 30.7 points per game and will exploit a Grizzlies defense that just allowed 116 points to the Wizards.
- • Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable, and his potential return would dominate a Grizzlies interior missing its primary rim protectors.
- • Philadelphia has a strong road record against the spread (8-5) compared to their struggles at home.
- • The 76ers hold a significant rebounding advantage (44.9 per game) against a small Memphis lineup missing multiple big men.
- • Memphis needs Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. to play near-perfect games to compensate for the lack of rotation depth.
