Betting on the Memphis Grizzlies
- Regular Season Record: 35-22
The Grizzlies are close to getting back starting center Steven Adams, who suffered a torn knee in January. In this 2022-23 season, the 29-year-old averages 8.6 points and is fourth in rebounds in the NBA with an average of 11.5 per game.
Memphis has not been at its best in recent weeks but no one doubts that the Ja Morant-led squad is one of the main candidates for the second half and the playoffs in the Western Conference.
Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Season record: 38-19
The 76ers have been one of the best teams of the season and now the big goal is to catch up with the Celtics and Bucks, the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.
Joel Embiid has been dealing with left foot discomfort in recent weeks, but the Cameroonian has still managed to stay in games and was also available for 28 minutes in the All-Star Game. It will be interesting to see if the franchise decides to rest the MVP candidate more frequently in the second half.
JefeBet Prediction
In their previous encounter this season, the Memphis Grizzlies emerged victorious with a 117-109 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. It’s worth mentioning, however, that the 76ers were without the likes of James Harden and Tyrese Maxey during that game.
This time around, the 76ers will have their full roster available, presenting a formidable challenge for the Grizzlies. Memphis, on the other hand, may be without the services of Steven Adams, a key player in their defensive strategy against Joel Embiid. As a result, the odds seem to be in favor of the home team securing the win.
Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers Moneyline.
