At a glance

The Philadelphia 76ers (4-1) host the Memphis Grizzlies (4-0) on Tuesday, December 1 at 7:00 PM ET at Xfinity Mobile Arena in NBA action. The Basketlog model gives the 76ers a 53% chance to win and projects a 114-115 score (Grizzlies – 76ers), about 229 total points. This season, the 76ers are 2-1 at home and the Grizzlies are 3-0 on the road. Since the start of the season: 4-1 for the 76ers and 4-0 for the Grizzlies (current streaks: 76ers W1, Grizzlies W4). A close game (margin of 5 points or fewer) happens in only 31% of cases according to the model. Reported injuries: Jabari Walker (76ers), Tacko Fall (76ers), Dominick Barlow (76ers) and Ariel Hukporti (76ers). Prediction confidence: low.

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).
