Now if we take a look at the 76ers, James Harden excels at all three levels of scoring and playmaking. Harden enjoys speeding things up and can dismantle defenses in a flash. The 10-time All-Star, who averages 11.2 assists along with 21.5 points and 6.5 rebounds, is a skilled passer. In four of his last six games, he has provided at least 13 assists. Harden had a triple-double on January 19 with 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists.
Similarly, Tyrese Maxey presents a significant scoring opportunity in the backcourt. Maxey develops his own offense thanks to his adept ball handling and consistent outside jumper. The Kentucky native scores 21.1 points, grabs 3.0 rebounds, and distributes 3.8 assists per contest. Additionally, he makes 38% of his 3-point attempts. Maxey had a total of 32 points and six assists on Saturday.
Keeping in mind that Durant is out for Brooklyn and that it is unknown whether Embiid, Harden, or both will play for Philadelphia in this game, both teams may be without key players. The Nets have won their last two games, but facing a Philadelphia club that is coming off a perfect 5-0 road trip could be challenging.
