Philadelphia 76ers vs Memphis Grizzlies Preview

1Even with Paul George and Joel Embiid sidelined for much of the early part of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers have managed to put together a 16-14 record. A big reason for that success has been Tyrese Maxey, who has averaged 30.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.

However, the Sixers are not coming into Tuesday’s matchup in great form. They have dropped three straight games, falling to Brooklyn on Dec. 23, Chicago on Dec. 26, and OKC on Dec. 28, with an average differential of 13.3 points per game.

Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies went through a rough start to the season but have found their rhythm in December. Ja Morant and co. have gone 6-5 this month, improving their overall record to 15-17 and moving them up to ninth place in the Western Conference.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to snap their losing streak on Tuesday, but it should be a close contest. This matchup projects to be a competitive game, as both teams are built with comparable roster strength, own similar records, and have followed a fairly similar path through the season so far.

The Sixers hold a clear offensive advantage, with far more scoring threats than the Grizzlies, led by Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, VJ Edgecomb, and McCain.

Prediction: Expect the 76ers to win by 5 points.
