Tuesday night NBA sees two teams face off that have gotten used to dealing with injuries.
Philadelphia has seen virtually every recent draft pick end up sidelined for significant amounts of time, while the Grizzlies have spent the last two seasons dealing with a multitude of battered players.
This season, Philly is still waiting on No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons, but has former lottery gem Joel Embiid putting on a show.
Memphis has had better health than it did a year ago overall, but is once against dealing with the absence of star guard Mike Conley.

Philadelphia 76ers
Philly is more exciting to watch this season than its record indicates.

It’s a young group with plenty of potential, and while the talent is clearly stuck in a frontcourt logjam, there are plenty of opportunities for players to step up and surprise on a nightly basis.
On the year, the 76ers are averaging 97.8 points per contest. That’s good enough for 26th in the NBA.
On defense, this group allows 107.8 points per night. That number puts them at 25th in the Association.

Although there’s only a one-spot difference in the rankings between points scored and points allowed, those looking at the raw statistics see the problem: This team is a minus-10 in terms of net margin on the year.
That’s not a recipe for success, meaning either the defense or the offense needs to step up.
Against Memphis, that’s likely to be the defense consider the Grizzlies’ strengths are what will make life difficult on the Sixers’ offense.
Memphis Grizzlies
On the year, Memphis ranks fifth in terms of points allowed. The team gives up just 98.5 points per night.
Offensively, this team struggles. It’s just 27th in the league in points per game scored at 97.5 points per game.
This is why we can count on the Sixers’ offense looking better than their defense. The Grizzlies make teams look horrible on offense on a nightly basis, while allowing opposing defenses to find their stride.

The good news for the Grizzlies is that the Sixers don’t have many options in terms of scoring attack outside of Embiid. Even if the de facto rookie were to drop a 50-burger Tuesday night, the complementary pieces aren’t going to push the Sixers over the edge.
The problem, of course, is that Memphis is going to struggle scoring as well.
This should be a low-scoring game — one that might be closer than some expect.

The Grizzlies should win this game, but without Conley to keep the offense rolling, we’re giving Philly the benefit of the doubt against the spread.
