Grizzlies Look To Stay Strong On Home Stand
The Memphis Grizzlies play host to the Philadelphia 76ers at Fedex Forum on Monday evening.

This marks the fourth and final game of a home stand for the Grizzlies (16-11), where they have gone, 2-1, so far, with a loss to the Mavericks, followed by wins over the Lakers and Rockets. They will look build on the momentum of two straight wins and close out the home stand on a high note, adding to their, 10-6, home record. The Grizzlies are dealing with a bunch of injuries, as Ja Morant (knee, COVID-19) will remain sidelined, along with Brandon Clarke (knee) and Ziaire Williams (ankle). Additionally, Jaren Jackson (knee) and Steven Adams (ankle) are listed as questionable for action. Desmond Bane continues to play well and is averaging 16.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game. De'Anthony Melton is averaging 10.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals, while Tyus Jones is averaging 7.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Meanwhile, the 76ers (15-12) have won four of their last five games and will look to keep moving in the right direction, with the hopes of adding to their, 9-6, road record. Joel Embiid continues his dominant play and is averaging 24.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals per game. Tobias Harris is averaging 18.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists, while Seth Curry is averaging 16.0 points on 51 percent shooting, including 40 percent from long range. The Sixers are averaging 106.5 points per game, and they are holding opponents to an average of 105.9 points per game. The 76ers do a great job taking care of the ball, as they limit themselves to an average of 11.7 turnovers per game, which is second fewest in the league.
