On Friday, December 2nd, the Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies meet for the first of two scheduled matches. Philly will host the second contest on February 23rd.
Both teams last played Wednesday with the 76ers getting absolutely pounded 85-113 by the Cavaliers while the Grizzlies lost to the KAT-less T-Wolves.
Last season the clubs played twice with the teams splitting the two contests. The Grizzlies hold the all-time record with 26 wins in 51 matches versus the 76ers.
Philadelphia 76ers
The loss to the Cavaliers was likely more about accumulated fatigue. The same thing happened earlier this season and I’m noticing it happening with other clubs too.
With teams having to navigate so many injuries the ‘others’ are raising their level of play and it’s almost like they unconsciously relax with the star back.
Interestingly, Embiid’s fellow Cameroonian (Siakam) had an almost identical situation occur — they both returned as if they hadn’t missed a beat, and the very next game their teams both had arguably the worst performances of the season.
Coincidence?
Maybe, but I’ll be logging in that in the memory bank for later this season when other team stars return — first game feast, second game let-down. Let’s see if it’s a trend.
This season, the 76ers score an average of 108.3 points per game ranking 28th. Philly shoots 47.2% from the field and 36.9% from the perimeter which ranks 12th and 10th respectively.
Defense is where the 76ers make their mark allowing the second-fewest opponent points per game 105.8 and the best perimeter defense at 32.5% while ranking 19th for opponent field goal percentage (47.2%).
Tobias Harris (non-Covid illness) is questionable). Tyrese Maxey (foot), James Harden (foot), and Jaden Springer (quad) are out indefinitely.
Memphis Grizzlies
Is it just me or does it seem like one of Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. or Desmond Bane is always out? I’m eager to see them together because this group just finds a way to keep on winning (and they’re so fun to watch).
Offensively, the Grizzlies score 115.0 points per game ranking 11th overall. Memphis shoots 46.1% from the field ranking 22nd, and 36.2% from the perimeter ranking 12th.
Defensively, Memphis allow their opponents to score 114.0 points per game (17th). Opponents shoot 46.6% from the field (14th) and 35.9% from deep (19th).
Jake LaRavia (foot) is questionable for Friday. Ziaire Williams (knee), Desmond Bane (toe) and Danny Green (knee) are out indefinitely.

Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. Memphis Grizzlies NBA Prediction:
When it comes to defending Embiid -well, it’s impossible.
Opponents typically go one of two directions, use a bit strong guy — which of course, Embiid counters with a cat-mouse game to free himself and pull the big to mid-court
Or they decide to go small and try to use an athletic big to get Embiid moving and force him to play defense, or draw him out to the perimeter. He counters by overpowering them in the paint.
Memphis is one of very few teams with solid options for both scenarios with Steven Adams and Jaren Jackson Jr. plus can even put Brandon Clarke on him a bit. It makes for an intriguing matchup.
Bane’s absence is being felt as the Grizz are 3-5 without him and when he was originally injured they said two to three weeks — until he was reassessed and he’s at that point. Hopefully, he’s back soon so we get the trio on the court together and the best version of the Grizz.
Even without him, the Grizz have more core talent available and they’ll be desperate for the win.
