Teams Preview

Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks are currently placed 10th in the Western Conference with a 33-34 record and 3rd in the Southwest Division. They were currently on a 4-game losing streak and record of 2-8 in their last 10 games. The Dallas Mavericks are experiencing a roller coaster of a season with so many injuries to the roster. After the trade of Luka, it's Kyrie Irving whose season came to an end with a torn ACL during Monday's loss against the Sacramento Kings.

The Mavericks have been performing well overall, averaging 114.8 points per game offensively (12th in the league), 43.4 rebounds (22nd overall), a mere 25.4 assists per game (21st overall), and allowing opponents 114.6 points per game(17th overall). With the addition of Anthony Davis, we should see a difference in their stats for the future. Anthony Davis averages 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. 

After the trade of Luka, Anthony Davis made his debut for the Mavericks where he scored  26 points to go with 16 boards and 3 blocks. He also had 7 assists in that game. Unfortunately, Davis suffered a non-contact injury in the game and is expected to be sidelined for a month. Kyrie Irving is averaging  24.6 points, 4.8 assists, and 1.3 steals a game and was named as a replacement for Anthony Davis as an All-Star reserve, making him a 9X All-Star.

Injuries have been a sign of concern for the Dallas side. They currently have 4 of their starters injured. Dwight Powell, Dereck Lively II, Caleb Martin, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford are the players currently injured from the Dallas roster. Daniel Gafford with a grade 3 right MCL sprain will be out for a minimum of 6 weeks. 

Dereck Lively II is out for at least 4 weeks and Anthony Davis will miss at least a month. The starting lineup is expected to feature Dante Exum as point guard, Klay Thompson as shooting guard, Max Christie as small forward, and Naji Marshall and Kessler Edwards as power forward and center, respectively.

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers have been playing miserably in the 2024-25 NBA season. The 76ers currently record 2-8 in their last 10 games, with their latest defeat coming in the hands of the Atlanta Hawks. Displaying a 22-43 record, the 76ers are three and a half games behind the Chicago Bulls at 12th, competing for the play-in spot. They are placed 4th 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 109.5 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 114.4 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 39.4 boards per game, ranking them 30th in this category. 

The Philadelphia 76ers do not do well assisting the ball as they average a mere 23.2 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. Quentin Grimes has been playing freakishly well and the player averages 17.4 points per game. He has 3 games above 25 points in his last 4 games.

Eric Gordan, Kyle Lowry, and Justin Edwards find themselves injured. Joel Embid has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. 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.
