This Week: 3/1 vs. Indiana Pacers, 3/3 vs. Utah Jazz

The Philadelphia 76ers continue to be one of the more befuddling contenders in the league. They split games with the Toronto Raptors as the Raptors are on the rise up the standings. This has been a tough match up historically so nothing really to get pressed about here.

The Sixers cruised past the Dallas Mavericks but the positivity of victory was marred by the injury to Tobias Harris. Luckily, he should not be out of the lineup for a tremendous amount of time. The Sixers used their entire bench to do away with the Mavericks and got a good rest to set them up for success against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Then came the loss to the Cavaliers, of course. Even without Harris in the lineup, the Sixers should have been able to finish off the Cavs. Joel Embiid was a destroyer, dropping 42 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal. Ben Simmons added 24 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and a steal but was far too turn over happy (seven) and ultimately no one else on the Sixers did enough to help. Shake Milton was the only other player in double figures and he was only able to make it to 11 points. Harris cannot get back soon enough.
