The Philadelphia 76ers have played to become one of the best clubs of the season and now set their sights towards meeting up with the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks, which are the two biggest teams in the Eastern Conference right now.
Joel Embiid has been suffering from discomfort in his left foot in the current weeks, but he powered through in games and played for 28 minutes in the All-Star Game. It will be interesting to see if the 76ers will give Joel some frequent time offs in the second half.
MatchPlug Prediction
In their last game this season, the Grizzlies came out winners with a 117-108 win over the 76ers. It’s important to note, that the 76ers played this game without James Harden and Tyrese Maxey.
For tomorrow’s game, Philadelphia will have its full squad on the court, becoming a tough challenge for Memphis. The Grizzlies on their own part may play without Adams who is a key player in the team’s defense plans against Embiid.
Due to this development, NBA Expert Picks for this game place the odds in favour of the 76ers securing a win.
