Memphis Grizzlies x Philadelphia 76ers – Palpite & Prognóstico (01.02.2022)

The Philadelphia 76ers will extend their domestic stand and host the Memphis Grizzlies at the Wells Fargo Center on January 31.

The Memphis Grizzlies will hit the road after two home games. With a 115-95 victory over the Washington Wizards, the Grizzlies continued their steady rise through the ranks of the Western Conference.

The Philadelphia 76ers will also come off a win after recording a 103-101 victory over the Sacramento Kings. The 76ers are currently on a four-game winning streak.

Monday’s game will be the last part of the season series between the two teams. With Memphis emerging victorious in the first game, Philadelphia hopes to avoid a sweep.

Memphia Grizzlies Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies have been hugely successful this season. Showcasing the thrilling talent and performance of Ja Morant, the Grizzlies currently rank third in the Western Conference, and their young superstar has also just earned his first All-Star appearance.

Their last win against the Wizards saw the Grizzlies extend their winning streak to three games. Winning 4-1 in their last five games, the Memphis have enjoyed another stretch of success as they approach the end of January.

Leading 34 points over Morant, the Memphis Grizzlies also saw balanced contributions in every game, with five other players scoring in doubles.

The Grizzlies also put their defensive skills on display, holding Washington just 95 points away. They forced 12 turnovers and recorded eight steals and 10 blocks as a team.

The Memphis Grizzlies will have good news as they recover Ziaire Williams from a knee injury. However, Tyus Jones will be out of the rotation due to health and safety protocols, severely affecting the Memphis guard depth.

The Key Player – Desmond Bane

A key player for the Memphis Grizzlies in their upcoming road game will be Desmond Bane. He has been one of the most impressive developing players on the Memphis roster this season.

With a talent for scoring goals and a very reliable three-point shot, Bane is a great complement to Ja Morant in Memphis’ back field.

Desmond Bane was the Memphis Grizzlies’ second-highest scorer against the Wizards, recording 19 points and four assists. Unfortunately, he had a pretty cold night, coming in from outside the arc, shooting just 2 for 7.

Bane has been pretty consistent on the offensive end, regardless. Since returning from health and safety protocols, he has scored over 15 points in three straight games. His efforts will be crucial to support Ja Morant in his next game as well.

Philadelphia 76ers preview

The Philadelphia 76ers have looked dominant in their last few games. Having won 4-1 in their last five games, the 76ers have put together a four-game winning streak that includes three straight home wins.

Philadelphia have improved greatly from their home record since an early slip at the start of the season. Currently 13-10 at home, the 76ers relied on Joel Embiid’s dominant performances and a recent climb from Tobias Harris.

In his last win against the Sacramento Kings, Embiid recorded 36 points on a highly efficient field of 55.6%. However, the 76ers found themselves in an uphill battle against the Kings. A massive 3/4 boost by Embiid would help Philadelphia fight its way back into the game.

Mal se defendendo da heroicidade tardia do jogo de Tyrese Haliburton, a Filadélfia precisará ver contribuições significativas de jogadores como Tyrese Maxey e o resto de seu banco se eles esperam ser bem sucedidos no futuro.

Jogador chave – Tyrese Maxey

Um jogador-chave para os Philadelphia 76ers em seu próximo jogo em casa será Tyrese Maxey.

Maxey se desenvolveu muito bem em um talentoso substituto do guarda-ponto para os 76ers. No entanto, ele também tem sido um pouco inconsistente.

O jogador de 21 anos tem atualmente uma média de 16,4 pontos e 4,7 assistências por jogo. As últimas dez saídas viram sua pontuação cair para 15,2 pontos por jogo, mas seu número de assistências melhorou à medida que Maxey foi distribuindo a bola mais.

Com Joel Embiid praticamente carregando os 76ers, Maxey terá que subir e assumir parte da carga de gols a fim de apoiar o esforço da super estrela da Filadélfia.

Grizzlies vs 76ers Match Predictions

Os Memphia Grizzlies devem emergir como os vencedores na partida contra os Philadelphia 76ers.

Embora os 76ers tenham a vantagem da quadra da Filadélfia, Joel Embiid será desafiado no lado ofensivo ao enfrentar a rotação de grandes jogadores de Memphis.

Por outro lado, a união de Ja Morant e Desmond Bane na quadra de fundo, juntamente com a execução geral dos Grizzlies, os torna uma unidade sólida.

While Embiid will likely make their numbers up in the end, if the rest of the 76ers fight from the ground, Memphis could enjoy an easy win on the night.
