No Ja, and possibly not JJR, but he's questionable. Grizzlies are playing well this year though, so this won't be easy, and who knows what version of this team we get. Will Joel continue his ascension back to EMVPIID?? Will Maxey build on his good game against the Warriors? Will Tobias and his books not get in the way of a Sixers win?

Everything is up grabs. Not sure about you guys, but this Simmons news has got me thinking about the damn trade again, I really do hope we get some release soon, so we can finally move on.

Until then, hope it's a win, as we're starting to gain some ground on the teams that have been decimated by Covid.

The east seeds 2-9/10 is only separated by 3 games in loss column. Bulls may be a 6/7 seed by the time they get their players back.

Barring injury to embiid. I think sixers will end up a 3-4 seed when it’s all said an done. Which is where they would have been with or without ben Simmons.

We just need to take one game at a time. We’ve had problems with Memphis in the past couple of years

So not sure what to expect of Memphis tonight.

I could see a #2 or #1 seed if we get a real difference maker in a trade for BS. However, don't underestimate Covid sweeping its way through the league.

The Grizzlies have been playing great even without Ja. This is the definition of a trap game, specially after getting a good win against the Warriors.

The Grizzlies's defense however is not as good as it was last season, the issue now is their offense. I think we can win this without problems if Joel puts Adams in foul trouble early, but with this team who knows lol

Adams, JJJ and Bane are all questionable.

Actually I'm disappointed at not having the chance to see Ja, even though it should be an advantage for us.

The Grizzlies are among the worst rim protecting teams in the NBA. Teams have been living in the paint against them. This would be a good game for Maxey to turn up his aggression.

We have also lost to the Grizzlies recently, so yeah this is not going to be easy. I won't be surprised if we rest on our laurels after the GS win.

If Adams plays watch out. Him, Val and Horford are the three centers that give Jo trouble.

Prob got more games this year missing 3 starters than having the the best 5 starters together. (excluding Simmons from that mix too)

No Jo either, FML...

If only Embiid Maxey was as good as non-Embiid Maxey.
