The Philadelphia 76ers visit Memphis on Tuesday night looking to snap a three-game losing streak against a Grizzlies team that has been inconsistent at home. Memphis sits at 7–8 on its home floor, while Philadelphia has been competitive on the road at 7–6.

Both teams profile similarly offensively. Philadelphia averages 115.7 points per game, nearly identical to the 115.8 Memphis allows, while the Grizzlies shoot slightly below league average from the field. Recent form favors Memphis, which is 6–4 over its last 10 games and scoring close to 119 points per contest, compared to Philadelphia’s 5–5 stretch and lower shooting efficiency.

Key individual production will matter, with Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. anchoring Memphis, while Tyrese Maxey continues to carry the scoring load for Philadelphia. The matchup projects as tight given the comparable scoring profiles and recent trends.

INJURIES: Grizzlies: John Konchar: out (thumb), Vince Williams Jr.: out (knee), Scotty Pippen Jr.: out (toe), Jock Landale: out (calf), Zach Edey: out (ankle), Ty Jerome: out (calf), Brandon Clarke: out (calf).

INJURIES: 76ers: Trendon Watford: day to day (thigh), Joel Embiid: day to day (ankle), Kelly Oubre Jr.: day to day (knee).

The Boston Celtics visit Salt Lake City on Tuesday night for a non-conference matchup with the Utah Jazz. Utah has been competitive at home with an 8–10 record but continues to struggle defensively, especially in close games. Boston enters just above .500 on the road at 9–7 and brings one of the league’s best defensive profiles.

The Jazz average 14.1 made three-pointers per game, matching what Boston typically allows, but Utah has been outscored heavily of late, giving up more than 132 points per game over its last 10 contests. Boston, meanwhile, has gone 7–3 over that span, holding opponents to just 109.0 points per game while shooting efficiently on offense.

This is the second meeting of the season between the teams. Utah edged Boston 105–103 on November 4 behind a 31-point performance from Keyonte George, while Jaylen Brown scored 36 in the loss. That result gives the Jazz confidence, but recent form and defensive consistency favor the Celtics in the rematch.

INJURIES: Jazz: Ace Bailey: day to day (hip), Georges Niang: out (foot), Walker Kessler: out for season (shoulder).

INJURIES: Celtics: Jayson Tatum: out (achilles), Chris Boucher: day to day (personal).

The Detroit Pistons visit Los Angeles on Tuesday night for a non-conference matchup against the Lakers. Detroit continues to lead the Eastern Conference and has been solid on the road at 11–6, while Los Angeles has played well at home with an 8–5 record and a perfect mark in close games decided by fewer than four points.

The Pistons bring a balanced attack, averaging 118.8 points per game and ranking among the East’s better teams on the defensive glass. Detroit is also in good recent form, going 7–3 over its last 10 games while holding opponents near 112 points per contest. Cade Cunningham remains the focal point, supported by strong team ball movement and rebounding.

The Lakers have been more inconsistent, splitting their last 10 games. They average 113.5 points per game during that stretch but have struggled defensively, allowing 119.0 points per contest. Los Angeles does hold a late-game edge, however, having won every game this season decided by a narrow margin.

INJURIES: Lakers: Jaxson Hayes: out (ankle), Gabe Vincent: out (back), Austin Reaves: out (calf).

INJURIES: Pistons: None listed.

The Los Angeles Clippers host the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night after Kawhi Leonard erupted for 55 points in a 112–99 win over Detroit. Both teams sit near the bottom of the Western Conference, but the Clippers enter with momentum following that standout performance.

Los Angeles has struggled within the division and against winning teams, though recent defensive play has been solid, allowing just 106.4 points per game over the last 10 contests. Offensively, production remains inconsistent outside of Leonard, but his current form gives the Clippers a clear focal point.

Sacramento continues to search for answers, going 3–7 over its last 10 games and allowing more than 120 points per contest during that stretch. The Kings move the ball well, ranking among the West’s better teams in assists, but scoring efficiency and defense have been ongoing issues. This matchup sets up as a contrast between Sacramento’s ball movement and Los Angeles’ reliance on star scoring.

INJURIES: Clippers: Bradley Beal: out for season (hip), John Collins: out (illness), Bogdan Bogdanovic: out (hamstring), Ivica Zubac: out (ankle).

INJURIES: Kings: Drew Eubanks: out (thumb), Zach LaVine: out (ankle), Devin Carter: day to day (ankle), Keegan Murray: out (calf), Domantas Sabonis: out (knee).
