Memphis vs Philadelphia Injury Report

The Grizzlies will again be without center Steven Adams (knee) from the NBA starting lineups. Shooting guard Luke Kennard is also out with a non-COVID illness.

Philadelphia is reporting no injuries.

Grizzlies Struggling Without Adams

Memphis is certainly missing the rebounding ability of Adams, who was averaging a team-leading 11.5 boards per game when he was hurt Jan. 22. The Grizzlies are 4-7 SU without him.

They were showing signs of life prior to the All-Star break, however. Memphis won three of four heading into the break to reach 35 wins by this stage of the season for just the third time in franchise history.

A deep, physical roster is headed by point guard Ja Morant and power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. They became the first Grizzlies teammates to ever play in an NBA All-Star Game.

Morant (27.3 points per game) leads the team in scoring and is eighth in the NBA. Jackson is shooting .584 from the field while scoring 16.9 ppg.

Embiid Pacing 76ers

An NBA All-Star and a top contender in the NBA MVP odds, Sixers center Joel Embiid is ignoring lingering left foot soreness to play some of the best basketball of his career. Averaging 33.1 ppg, he’s just a tick off the league lead scoring pace being set by Luka Doncic (33.3) of Dallas. Embiid scored 32 points for Team LeBron in the NBA All-Star Game.

Guard James Harden gives Philly a dynamite 1-2 punch. Harden is shooting 38.9% from beyond the arc. He drains 2.8 3-pointers per game. Harden is averaging 21.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 10.8 assists.

Grizzlies vs 76ers Prediction

It’s the #2 seed in the West vs the #3 seed in the East, but of late, the 76ers are looking more worthy of that lofty perch than the Grizzlies. While Philly is 7-3 SU over the past 10 games, Memphis is just 4-6 SU. The Grizzlies are 4-9 SU in their last 13 road games and 4-10 ATS over their past 14 away from home.

When these two teams met in Memphis on Dec. 3, the Grizzlies were 117-109 winners. Morant scored 28 points for Memphis. Embiid netted a game-high 35 for the Sixers. However, the Grizzlies are 1-4 SU in their last five games at Philly.

Pick: Philadelphia 76ers -4 (-110)
