Per usual, 80 percent of the Grizzlies roster is out or questionable but I'm going to throw a little down in the hopes that Joel Embiid gets the front end of a back-to-back off as I can't imagine Philly lets him play both this soon after returning. And if the Sixers instead rest him tomorrow against Victor Wembanyama that would be such a disservice to fans. San Antonio has a better shot at the upset so I'd certainly save Embiid for that one.
Memphis is known for its defense but these totals are getting way low and the Grizz are over in 7 of their last 10 games. Only three of these totals are under 209 (one at 206 and one at 208); 6 of the others were 218+. Philly has Joel Embid back and was scoring at a higher rate even before his return. The Sixers are 4-1 to the Over in their last 5, and all of those games totaled at least 214 points.
