The Memphis Grizzlies hit the road on Monday night to the city of brotherly love to take on the Philadelphia 76ers. While we are being robbed of Joel Embiid vs Ja Morant, there is still plenty to get excited about for this game. Especially in the player prop betting market. Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this Monday night melee, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

3 Best Prop Bets for Grizzlies vs Sixers

  • Ja Morant OVER 26.5 Points (-125)
  • Jaren Jackson OVER 15.5 Points (-120)
  • Steven Adams OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-115)

Ja Morant OVER 26.5 Points (-125)

Morant has been a revelation for the Grizzlies in what can only be described as a breakout season. After averaging 19.1 points per game last year, Morant ranks 8th in the NBA with a 26.1 PPG average in 2021-22. Morant is not settling for 8th best and has been on fire over the last six games in terms of scoring. In those games, Morant upped his scoring average to 35.2 PPG. The Grizzlies PG hasn’t gone under this total since Dec. 17 and I think he continues to play with a hot hand against the 76ers tonight. 

Jaren Jackson OVER 15.5 Points (-120)

Jackson’s performance over the last month has been a contributing factor towards the Grizzlies' 19-3 record in their last 22 games. Much like Morant, Jackson kicked his scoring production into high gear and is now averaging 16.4 PPG. The Memphis forward has gone over this total in two of his last three games and four of his previous six. Jackson also dropped 22 on the sixers back in mid-December and I think is a good bet to keep playing well tonight. 

Steven Adams OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-125)

After a strong January that was capped off with a 15 rebound performance on Saturday, I like Adam's chances to see double-digit rebounds again tonight. While the veteran center is averaging 9.4 rebounds per game overall, he has taken it up a notch in 2022. Since the beginning of January, Adams is averaging 10.1 rebounds per game across 11 games. Additionally, the Sixers overall rank 18th in the NBA in opponent total rebounds per game at 52.9 and will be without Joel Embiid tonight.
