76ers Analysis: Tyrese Maxey is leading this team

The 76ers’ 2-game winning streak ended on Wednesday with a 115-102 loss against the Suns. Philadelphia has a record of 3-6 in their previous 9 games, including a 1-4 record away from home. Tyrese Maxey was coming off 3 consecutive games in which he scored thirty points, but his 6 points on 3 of thirteen shooting was not a great effort against the Suns. Kelly Oubre Jr., who averaged 20.4 points and 6.1 rebounds across 10 games in March, has been a major contributor this month. With Joel Embiid (knee) missing for a large chunk of the season, the Sixers have needed a strong defensive effort to stay competitive, and they’ve provided it most of the time. Philadelphia ranks 9th in opponent effective field goal percentage and 9th in scoring defense.

Lakers Analysis: Last game was a huge 31-point win
