Memphis heads to Philadelphia with both teams dragging injury baggage into a back-to-back spot. The Grizzlies are 23-40 (11-20 road) and have dropped four straight, while the 76ers are 34-30 (17-16 home) and have lost two in a row.
Philadelphia is laying a small number despite key shot-creation questions, which keeps Memphis live on the spread and makes the moneyline price interesting if you think the pace stays up and variance swings the road team’s way. Odds as of 8:30 a.m. ET on March 10, 2026.

Team Recaps
Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis played Monday in Brooklyn and now gets a short trip to Philadelphia on no rest. They’re 11-20 away from home and come in on a four-game skid.
Stylistically, this is still a tempo team: 100.7 pace (6th) with strong ball movement (28.8 assists per game, 5th). The downside is the efficiency profile: 114.5 offensive rating (23rd) paired with a 116.7 defensive rating (18th), and turnovers (14.7 per game, T-24th) can undercut their volume.
Injuries matter a lot here:
- Ja Morant (out, elbow; reevaluation timeline noted as weeks)
- Zach Edey (out for season, ankle)
- Brandon Clarke (out, calf; multi-week timeline noted)
- Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (out for season, finger)
- Day-to-day names to monitor: Taylor Hendricks (thumb), Santi Aldama (injury management), Taj Gibson (reconditioning)
Philadelphia 76ers
Philadelphia returns home after playing Monday in Cleveland, also on the second night of a back-to-back. The 76ers are just 17-16 at home, and their recent ATS form has been shaky even when they’ve won.
Their season-long efficiency is slightly better than Memphis on offense (116.0 ORtg, T-14th), but it’s not a dominant profile defensively either (116.4 DRtg, 17th). They play slower than Memphis (98.4 pace, 19th) and have struggled to generate easy offense via passing (24.5 assists per game, T-28th). The one stabilizer: they take care of the ball (13.2 turnovers per game, 7th fewest).
Key availability:
- Tyrese Maxey (out, hand)
- Joel Embiid (out, oblique)
- Johni Broome (out, knee)
- VJ Edgecombe (day-to-day, back)
Matchup Keys
- Pace tug-of-war: Memphis pushes (100.7 pace), Philly prefers a slower game (98.4). The team that dictates tempo has a direct impact on 227.5.
- Assists and shot quality: Memphis is top-5 in assists (28.8) while Philly is near the bottom (24.5). If the Grizzlies can keep their turnover count in check, they’re built to create more assisted threes.
- Turnover gap: Philly’s 13.2 turnovers (7th fewest) vs. Memphis at 14.7 (T-24th) is a sneaky edge in a short spread game.
- Three-point volume is close: Memphis hits 13.6 threes per game vs. Philly 12.6, with similar percentages (35.6% vs. 35.3%). If one side gets hot, +3.5 becomes very live.
- Star power is stripped on both sides: With Embiid and Maxey out for Philly and Morant out for Memphis, this can tilt toward role-player variance and coaching adjustments more than isolation scoring.
Betting Trends
- Memphis is 6-4 ATS over its last 10 games.
- Philadelphia is 3-6-1 ATS over its last 10 games.
- Memphis has gone Over in 7 of its last 10 games.
- Philadelphia is 5-5 O/U in its last 10 games.
- Memphis is 30-32-1 ATS on the season.
- Philadelphia is 32-29-3 ATS on the season.
- Memphis is 32-31-0 to the Over on the season.
- Philadelphia is 32-32-0 O/U on the season.
- Both teams are on the second night of a back-to-back (rest disadvantage for shooting legs and defensive effort).
Best Bet
Memphis Grizzlies +3.5 (-114) for 2 units.
Philadelphia’s pricing is still reflecting baseline talent, but with Embiid and Maxey out, it’s harder to separate late unless the 76ers win the turnover battle decisively. Memphis also plays faster and moves the ball better (28.8 assists per game), which can manufacture enough scoring chances to stay inside a one-possession number even if their half-court offense bogs down. Add in recent ATS direction (Memphis 6-4 last 10, Philly 3-6-1 last 10), and the points are the cleaner side than asking Philly to cover.
Predicted Score
Philadelphia 114, Memphis 112
