Why the Grizzlies can cover
Memphis has been eliminated from playoff contention for several weeks, but it is riding a three-game winning streak to open the month of April. The Grizzlies beat the Pistons as 3-point road underdogs on Monday before stunning the Bucks as 12-point road underdogs on Wednesday. Jaren Jackson Jr. had 35 points, while shooting guard Jordan Goodwin had 13 points and 12 rebounds in a double-double effort off the bench.
They cruised to a 108-90 win over Detroit in a rematch on Friday, as rookie center Trey Jemison posted a double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Rookie power forward Maozinha Pereira added 17 points and nine rebounds as a reserve. The Grizzlies have won nine consecutive home games against the 76ers, and they have covered the spread in four of the last six head-to-head meetings.
Why the 76ers can cover
Philadelphia is just 1.5 games back of Indiana for sixth place in the Eastern Conference, which is the final spot that avoids the play-in tournament. The 76ers are also just one game back of seventh-place Miami, so they should be significantly more motivated than the Grizzlies. They are riding a three-game winning streak of their own, beating the Raptors, Thunder and Heat.
The 76ers were 3-point road underdogs in their 109-105 win at Miami on Thursday, as point guard Tyrese Maxey had 37 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds. Star center Joel Embiid added 29 points on 11 of 25 shooting, while Kelly Oubre Jr. had 18 points and eight rebounds. Philadelphia has covered the spread in five consecutive games, and it has covered in five of its last six road games. See which team to pick here.
