The Grizzlies were held to 39 percent shooting and 22 percent on 3-pointers and James Harden exploded for 31 points and Joel Embiid added 27 points for the 76ers, who are in double revenge against Boston. The Sixers managed to win despite Embiid shooting only 7-for-25 from the field as he was recovering from an illness and they covered the number for the fifth straight game. Boston did not cover in its 142-138 overtime win at Indiana on Thursday and the Celtics are 1-4 ATS their past five games after allowing at least 125 points their previous game and the 76ers are 21-6 ATS their past 27 home games and 9-3 ATS overall versus teams with .600 winning percentages. Boston is 16-7-1 UNDER on the road and 10-2 UNDER against teams with home winning percentages of at least .600. Philadelphia is 6-3-1 UNDER its past 10 games. Take the 76ers and the UNDER.
