Pelicans Analysis: Just won by more than 40 points
After easily defeating the Raptors 139-98 on the road in their last game, the New Orleans Pelicans have been playing well lately. They have won 3 of their past 4 games overall. They will be motivated to continue their winning streak. Trey Murphy led the squad with 34 points off the bench, including a career-high 10 3-pointers. Herbert Jones contributed 17 points, and Zion Williamson scored 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. The Pelicans set the tone early with 42 points in the 1st quarter to take a double-digit lead. They then held the Raptors to a mere 17 points in the 2nd quarter to take a 23-point advantage into halftime that only developed as the game went on. As a team, the Pelicans shot 50% from the field and a scorching 24 of 49 from the 3-point line.
76ers Analysis: Tyrese Maxey is out for this game
Philadelphia, who is still falling in the East standings, is in desperate need of a win here. The club lost their most recent 2 games consecutively and 6 of their last ten games overall as they suffered a humiliating 115-109 home defeat to the struggling Memphis Grizzlies. Due to Tyrese Maxey’s concussion, which has kept him out of the last 2 games, Philly shot only 38% from the field in their loss to Memphis. Tyrese Maxey will not play in this game. Philadelphia suffers when Maxey isn’t available, as they have now dropped all seven of his games this 2023–24 season.
