Grizzlies vs 76ers Prediction & Pick
The Grizzlies easily have the advantage in this matchup when it comes to NBA experience. LaRavia, Roddy, Kenneth Lofton Jr., and Vince Williams Jr. combined for 144 games (six starts) during the 2022-23 season. The most impressive of the bunch is Lofton, who averaged 24.5 points per 36 minutes on 52.7% shooting over 24 games.
At the same time, there isn't anything too exciting about the 76ers' lineup. They're rostering zero drafted players from the last two draft s. On top of that, Springer is their only player with NBA experience, but even then, he's only suited up for 18 career games (two starts) over the last two campaigns.
The Grizzlies' roster has a lot more upside while also being younger. With Philly lacking high-end talent, Memphis won't have much of a hard time winning.
Final Score Prediction:'Grizzlies: 87 | 76ers: 74
Grizzlies vs 76ers Best Bet
I'm taking the Grizzlies to cover as the -4.5 favorite in this Summer League showdown. Agai n, there's really nothing to like about the 76ers roster. Unless Springer has a game to remember or an unexpected player steps up, the talent-rich Grizzlies won't have an issue defeating the Sixers by multiple possessions.
Look for Memphis' top prospects to make a mark.
