Teams Preview

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers have been playing miserably in the 2024-25 NBA season. The 76ers are currently on a 6 game losing streak. Displaying a 20-35 record the 76ers are one place behind the Chicago Bulls at 11th competing for the play-in spot. They are placed 4th in the Atlantic Division behind the rebuilding Raptors side.

On offense, the 76ers are ranked 26th in the league and have a total of 109 points per game. Their Net rating is another huge disappointment as they have a -4.1 rating. Their defensive acumen on the other hand has been commendable as they are conceding only 113.1 points per game which ranks them 16th in the league. Tyrese Maxey who failed to make it as an all-star this season is averaging 27.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.9 steals per game, and arguably snubbed from the all-star selections. Paul George has been averaging 16.2 points but his fitness is a major issue at this point, with the player managing to play just 36 of the total 55 games. Joel Embid in his 18 appearance averages 24.3 points per game 8.2 rebounds, playing 30 minutes per game.

Joel Embid and Eric Godan are listed as a game-time decision. The starting five in their absence should have Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. at guard. Ricky Council IV and Justin Edwards at forward and Guerschon Yabusele at Center if incase Embid doesn’t play.

Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets come back recoding 3-1 in their last 4 games. Before that They had lost 6 games in a row that started against the LA Clippers and their last defeat came in the hands of the Miami Heat. January was harsh for the New York team considering that they managed to win just 2 games of the 14 played. However, in February, the team has been playing better basketball, winning 5 and losing just 2.  At the time of writing the Brooklyn Nets hold a 20-35 record placing them 12th in the Eastern Conference and 4th in the Atlantic Division. The Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers have the same record at the time of writing.

One of their key players is Cam Thomas, who averages 24.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists but has managed to play in just 19 games so far. In his absence, Cameron Johnson leads the team with 19.1 points per game. The team ranks 29th in terms of offense scoring a mere 104.9 points per game but has been solid defensively ranking them 8th overall as they allow opponents to111 points per game. However, in terms of points deferential, the team lies on the negative with -6.1. They average 41.1 rebounds per game ranking them 29th in this category and 25th in terms of assists as the team manages to assist just 24.7 assists a game.

The Nets are also grappling with significant injury issues with no player playing all the 46 games this season. They currently have 2 players injured. Cam Thomas is said to be making significant progress and Noah Clowney finds themselves injured from the Nets roster. For the upcoming game against the 76ers, the potential starting lineup includes D’Angelo Russel at point guard, Keon Johnson at shooting guard, Z.
