Teams Preview

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers have been playing miserably in the 2024-25 NBA season. The 76ers are currently on a 3-game losing streak, with their latest defeat coming in the hands of the Boston Celtics. Displaying a 21-41 record, the 76ers are two places behind the Chicago Bulls at 12th, competing for the play-in spot. They are placed 3rd in the Atlantic Division behind the rebuilding Raptors side. Apart from December, where the team recorded 9 wins and 3 losses for the month, they haven't been able to keep up such consistency. 

On offense, the 76ers are ranked 26th in the league and record 109 points per game. Their Net rating is another huge disappointment as they have a -5 rating. Their defensive acumen on the other hand has been commendable as they are conceding only 114 points per game which ranks them 16th in the league. Regarding rebounding the basketball, the 76ers have the worst record in the league as they acquire 39.3 boards per game, ranking them 30th in this category. The Philadelphia 76ers do not do well assisting the ball as they average a mere 23.1 assists a game, which ranks them 28th overall. Tyrese Maxey, who failed to make it as an all-star this season, is averaging 26.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, and arguably snubbed from the all-star selections. Paul George has been averaging 16.2 points but his fitness is a major issue at this point, with the player managing to play just 41 of the total 62 games. Joel Embid in his 19 appearances averages 23.8 points per game, 8.2 rebounds, playing 30 minutes per game.

Eric Gordan, Kyle Lowry, and Justin Edwards find themselves injured. Joel Embid is listed as a game-time decision. The starting five in their absence should have Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. at guard. Ricky Council IV and Justin Edwards at forward and Guerschon Yabusele at Center if in case Embid doesn’t play.

Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz have had a very rough season so far as they have been very underwhelming this season. The Utah Jazz rank at the bottom of the Northwest Division in 5th place and are last in the Western Conference in 15th place, with a record of 15-48. In their last 10 matches they have recorded 2-8. They are currently on a 4-game losing streak and have a negative 7.3 point differential.

They're rebounding 45.6 a night (6th in the league) and getting an average of 25.9 assists a night (17th in the league). At 54.4%, for two-point shooting and 35.4%, from three-pointers. On defense, they give up a lot as they concede 119.4 per night (28th league). They average 112.3 points a night, ranking them 19th in the league. Lauri Markkanen averages 19.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists and leads the team. John Collins averages 18.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists along with 1.1 blocks per game and a team-high 1 steal per game. Collin Sexton averages 18.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. Walker Kesler leads the team in rebounds with 12.2 rebounds per game as well as 2.3 blocks per game.

Injuries appear to never get the right time for a visit as three players of the team are reportedly put into day-to-day status, among whom include John Collins, Lauri Markkanen, and Walker Kesler. Jordan Clarkson, Colin Sexton, and Taylor Hendricks are ruled out due to injury. The opening five for the Jazz would be: point guard Isaiah Colier, shooting guard Brice Sensabaugh, small forward Lauri Markkanen, power forward K. Martin if John Collins isn't available, and center Walker Kessler.
