This is basically how I view this game...
Sixers hung around the last couple of games but those were home tilts against the Knicks and Raptors. Now, they hit the road on a B2B, after losing a tough game last night. I feel like they are due for a blowout here. They only have so many go good games in 'em. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have been off since Wednesday. They are healthy and I like the addition of Jeff Green to the roster as it gives Memphis more offensive potency. This is a team that could get hot down the home stretch.
That being said, laying 17.5 points lends itself to getting backdoored if Memphis plays a bunch of scrubs in the 2nd half. I feel comfortable playing Memphis first half and hoping the regulars race out to a sizable lead.
