The Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies know a thing or two about superstars missing games, and that\u2019s still a hot topic as these teams collide tonight at FedExForum.<\/p>\n
With Joel Embiid listed as questionable, and Ja Morant set for his third game back after an ankle injury, my\u00a076ers vs. Grizzlies predictions focus on Jaren Jackson Jr.<\/p>\n

Find out why in my\u00a0NBA picks<\/a> for December 30.<\/p>\n 76ers vs Grizzlies prediction<\/p>\n 76ers vs Grizzlies best bet: Jaren Jackson Jr. Over 20.5 points (-120)<\/p>\n It\u2019s been another turbulent season for the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a>, but Jaren Jackson Jr.<\/a> is doing his best to steady the ship. He\u2019s appeared in 30 of the Grizzlies\u2019 32 games, and is in the middle of a strong scoring push to keep his team within range of the .500 mark.<\/p>\n JJJ finished with 31 points on 11-for-25 shooting in Sunday\u2019s disappointing loss to the Washington Wizards, and he\u2019s now gone past this O\/U number in six of his last seven outings. This line feels too low, and I\u2019m jumping on the value for tonight\u2019s matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Ja Morant<\/a>\u2019s return certainly helps. Instead of creating all of his opportunities himself, Jackson is walking into open looks when his point guard attacks the paint, and he\u2019s also found his stroke from beyond the arc, making 16 of his past 34 attempts from deep.<\/p>\n The 76ers are sweating on Joel Embiid<\/a>\u2019s availability, and they\u2019re coming off a blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, where they gave up 129 points.<\/p>\n Andre Drummond certainly won\u2019t want to be matched up with Jackson on the perimeter, and I see the former Defensive Player of the Year cashing in with another efficient scoring night here.<\/p>\n 76ers vs Grizzlies same-game parlay<\/p>\n The Under has been a solid pick for both these teams in their last 10 games, particularly for the Grizzlies, who are 6-3-1 in that span. While Memphis has been erratic offensively, the 76ers have scored fewer than 110 points in three straight contests. Whether Embiid plays or not, I see the total tilting toward the Under.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n VJ Edgecombe<\/a> has had an explosive start to his NBA career, but he\u2019s still finding his role in a full-strength Philly rotation. With Tyrese Maxey and Paul George dominating possessions, I\u2019ll take the Under on this Edgecombe prop, with the rookie scoring 10 points in each of his last two games.<\/p>\n 76ers vs Grizzlies SGP<\/p>\n Jaren Jackson Jr. Over 20.5 points<\/p>\n VJ Edgecombe Under 14.5 points<\/p>\n Our “from downtown” SGP: Coward Knows Ball<\/p>\n Speaking of rookies, Cedric Coward<\/a> is another first-year player who looks like a future stud, and he\u2019s scored 13+ points in four of his past five contests. Coward is shooting 49% from the field this month, and I see him chipping in with another efficient effort here.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n 76ers vs Grizzlies SGP<\/p>\n Jaren Jackson Jr. Over 20.5 points<\/p>\n VJ Edgecombe Under 14.5 points<\/p>\n Cedric Coward Over 12.5 points<\/p>\n 76ers vs Grizzlies odds<\/p>\n Spread: 76ers -1 (-110) | Grizzlies +1 (-110)<\/p>\n Moneyline: 76ers -115 | Grizzlies -105<\/p>\n Over\/Under: Over 234 (-110) | Under 234 (-110)<\/p>\n 76ers vs Grizzlies betting trend to know<\/p>\n The Under is 20-11-1 for the Grizzlies this season.
