The analysis Model
Close to a coin flip: nothing really sets either side apart. The model projects 76ers 115 – 114 Grizzlies, a margin of about 0.9 points in favor of the 76ers and a total around 229 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The 76ers will be without Jabari Walker or Tacko Fall (and 2 others). Early season: the numbers still lean heavily on last season, so confidence stays cautious.
- The Grizzlies need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
- The 76ers' defense allows clearly fewer points (113.5 pts/game).
