The Memphis Grizzlies face the Philadelphia 76ers on December 31st at 09:00, a contest defined by extensive injuries and teams attempting to break losing streaks. The Grizzlies, on a two-game winning streak, see Ja Morant's return boosting their offense with 17 points and 10 assists, alongside Jaren Jackson Jr.'s solid defensive presence. However, the team is significantly hampered by the absence of eight players, impacting their rotation. The Philadelphia 76ers are struggling with a three-game losing streak. Joel Embiid, averaging 29.8 points in his last four games, is questionable due to an ankle injury. Key players like Kelly Oubre Jr. are also sidelined. The 76ers' 'big three' have yet to find success, with a 0-4 record when playing together. The game's outcome hinges on two key aspects: Embiid's availability, as his inside scoring is crucial for the 76ers, and the Grizzlies' ability to exploit their opponent's defensive and offensive struggles while leveraging their home-court advantage to extend their winning streak. Recommendation: Philadelphia 76ers
