Prediction
76ers 120, Grizzlies 112
Moneyline (ML)
The 76ers (-209) have lost four in a row overall but now return home, where they have a league-best 22-2 record. They are 19-2 at home when favored. The Grizzlies (+170) have won six of their last seven games and are a respectable 12-13 on the road but 9-11 when they are road dogs.
After four games on the road, the Sixers will be glad for some home cooking. Take SIXERS on the money line at -209.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Sixers returns a profit of $4.78.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The 76ers are favored at -5.5 (-106) over the Grizzlies. They have not covered the spread in their last five games, although four of those games were on the road. They aren’t as dominant against the spread at home as they are overall. They are 13-9-1 ATS at home and 10-9-1 as a home favorite.
Memphis is 12-10-1 ATS on the road and 10-9-1 as a road dog. Philly is healthy and adds a couple of shooters, so they will be able to spread the floor better and simply play better at home.
Take the Sixers to win and to cover at -5.5 (-106).
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at 222.5 points. Memphis plays high-scoring games, averaging more than 113 a game. They’ve also allowed 114 per contest as well. They are 26-25 O/U overall, while Philly is 24-27-1 O/U. That improves to 12-11 O/U at home for the Sixers and Memphis is 12-11 O/U on the road.
With both teams acquiring new players, expect the scoring to be up for Philly.
Take the OVER -110.
