Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers kick off Tuesday night’s slate of games with a matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies.

It has been a rough start to the year for the Memphis Grizzlies as they are currently 15-17 and in ninth place in the Western Conference standings.

Luckily for Memphis, they have a great opportunity to round back into form on Tuesday night as they face off against the Philadelphia 76ers who have harshly regressed while Joel Embiid is dealing with a nagging knee injury.

Even though there are only four games tipping off on Tuesday, there are still plenty of markets to wager on which you can read a detailed breakdown of them below.

Best NBA prop bets todayPhiladelphia 76ers vs Memphis Grizzlies (8:00pm, EST)

Joel Embiid Under 23.5 Points (-115) at BetMGM Sportsbook

With Joel Embiid clearly hampered by his injury, the Philadelphia 76ers center has struggled to recapture the same success he had earlier in his career as the former MVP is averaging just 21.8 Points per game while shooting 25.9% from three.

Without Embiid’s elite production, the 76ers have regressed as their offense currently ranks below league average in Offensive Efficiency.

Unfortunately for Embiid, his struggles are poised to persist on Tuesday night as he faces off against a Memphis Grizzlies defense who ranks 11th in Opposing True Shooting Percentage.

Even with Zach Edey out with an injury, Jaren Jackson Jr. is capable of holding his own as he possesses the size and length that is needed to drastically lessen the quality of Embiid’s shot attempts in the interior.

VJ Edgecombe Over 1.5 Three Pointers Made (-187) at Caesars Sportsbook

While the Grizzlies have excelled at defending the paint, their guards have struggled to cover the perimeter as their defense also ranks below league average in Opposing Three Point Completion Percentage.

With Embiid pulling defensive attention to the middle, expect VJ Edgecombe to exploit their gaps in coverage and generate high quality shot attempts from three for the full duration of the contest.

Detroit Pistons vs Los Angeles Lakers (10:30pm, EST)

Cade Cunningham Over 35.5 Points+Assists (-115) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Since the start of the regular season, the Detroit Pistons have seen their odds to win the NBA championship steadily grow as they are only 3.5 games back from Oklahoma City for first in the overall standings.

Cade Cunningham has played a major role in Detroit’s success this year as the Pistons guard is averaging 26.5 Points and 9.6 Assists per game while shooting 46.2% from the field.

Heading into Tuesday night, Cunningham will have a great opportunity to build on his momentum as he faces off against a Los Angeles Lakers defense who ranks near dead last in Defensive Efficiency.

Especially with Luka Doncic lacking the lateral quickness that is needed to stay in front of Cunningham as he will be able to consistently slash through the middle of their defense and generate a volume of shot attempts near the rim.

Jalen Duren Over 10.5 Rebounds (-110) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Jalen Duren’s emergence as a versatile big has also played a key role in Detroit’s hot start to the year as the Pistons center is averaging 10.9 Rebounds per game.

With the Lakers fielding just one big in their starting rotation while Rui Hachimura is out with an injury, Duren will be able to generate a higher number of Rebound Opportunities which increases his chances of clearing the over on his Rebound prop.

Boston Celtics vs Utah Jazz (9:00pm, EST)

Boston Celtics Team Total Over 123.5 (-120) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After a slow start to the year, the Boston Celtics offense have been able to round back into dominant form as they currently reside in the top-10 in Offensive Efficiency and in Three Point Completion Percentage.

Even with Jayson Tatum out for the year, Jaylen Brown has been able to keep Boston competitive in their contests as the Celtics guard is averaging nearly 30.0 Points per game.

In a favorable matchup against the Utah Jazz, expect the Celtics offense to put together a dominant performance as they face off against a defense who ranks 30th in Opposing Effective Field Goal Percentage.

For some more exposure, escalator bet the Celtics team total by placing smaller wagers on their alternate overs at the best available odds.
