Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia 76ers currently stand at 12th place in the Eastern Conference with a 23-44 win loss record. The 76ers have been plagued by injuries to Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr, Paul George which has left the team to offer players a short term two way contracts to play out of the rest of the regular season games. 

The 76ers ended their three-game losing streak with a 125-130 win over the Dallas Mavericks in the previous game. Quentin Grimes top scored with 28 points, while Guerschon Yabusele scored 14 points. Jalen Hood-Schifino scored a career high 19 points in 23 minutes coming of the bench. He drained 5 three pointers with an efficiency of 55.5%. Jeff Dowtin and OShae Brissett also scored in double digits coming of the bench. 

The 76ers still have an outside chance of making it to the top 10 in the East, but they will need to win games consistently to surpass the current 10th-seeded Chicago Bulls, who hold a five-game advantage. For that to be a reality Quentin Grimes who has scored 25 or more points in each of the last five games is expected to lead the team on offense. 

Philadelphia 76ers on average score 109.6 and allow 114.6 points per game. On offense they are ranked in the bottom five, while their defense has been much better in terms of holding their opponents to limited points. But the 76ers are one of the worst rebounding team averaging 39.4 RPG, the least by any team this season.
