Joel Embiid has led the Philadelphia 76ers to consecutive wins since his long injury layoff ended, and these victories couldn't come at a better time as they prepared for their final push toward the playoffs. When the Sixers play the upset-minded Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, will "the Process" continue to put up strong numbers?
DraftKings has already released the betting lines for the Sixers vs. Grizzlies game, and predictably, Embiid is one of the most popular options in the players' props category at over/under 28.5 points.
The Philadelphia 76ers:
The Sixers' last-ditch playoff effort received a significant lift with Joel Embiid's return. The reigning NBA MVP was sidelined for many weeks after suffering a left knee injury. Without their leading scorer, Philadelphia falls to eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings, putting them in risk of entering the play-in playoffs.
Getting Embiid back in time for the playoffs has significantly improved the championship odds for the Sixers, who are all of a sudden on a roll after posting three straight victories – including identical 109-105 wins over the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Miami Heat.
The Memphis Grizzlies:
The Grizzlies are also enjoying a three-game winning streak after losing 7 of their last 8 games. Memphis scored two victories over the hapless Detroit Pistons and another upset win over title contenders Milwaukee Bucks to sweep their season series.
19-year-old rookie GG Jackson has been a consistent figure in those wins, posting 11 and 15 points in 2 games vs. Detroit and a 15-12 double-double against Milwaukee.

Our Memphis Grizzlies vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
Joel Embiid is expected to post dominant numbers if he is cleared to play against the Grizzlies. As of press time, the Sixers have yet to announce the availability of Embiid for Saturday's ballgame. Philadelphia has covered the spread in their last five games and five of their last six road games. Surprisingly, they haven't defeated the Grizzlies in their last 9 tries at the FedEx Forum.
Our betting prediction for Pistons vs. Nets: Take Joel Embiid over 28.5 points at DraftKings.
