Sixers seems to break three-games Skid vs. Toronto Raptors

Philadelphia 76ers is hosted Toronto Raptors To start a back-to-back series before going to Brooklyn to go on the nets.

Sixers rolls from several disappointing losses, the latest against one Milwaukee Bucks Team lacks Giannis Antetokounmpo. Currently, the 1.5 games sit out of the final play-in-place in the east and track the last playoff place with 6.5 games. When time is running out, these next two matches are crucial to keeping hope after the season alive.

With both Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid back in action, the duo has not missed a beat that combines for 66 points in their last match. However, they did not receive enough support to secure a win. Paul George in particular has been fighting since returning from his finger injury, on average only 11.7 points, 2.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 30.5 minutes per hour. Match. If Sixers hopes to turn things around, they need more production from George and contributions from the rest of the schedule.

Sixers’ matches have been largely because of their defense, which has been among the league’s worst. In February alone, they ranked in the five bottom in defensive rating, a key factor in their recent decline.

Main coach Nick nurse confirmed that everyone at Sixers participated in Monday Morning’s practice, except for Kyle Lowry, Eric Gordon and Jared McCain. With a back-to-back ahead, it will be interesting to see how the team administers Paul George and Joel Embiid’s availability.

Toronto Raptors have had an unusual season. Many expected this would be a transition year as they went back around the rising Star Scottie Barnes. While injuries have kept the most important players sideways and victories have been difficult to come up with, their recent trade for Brandon Ingram suggests that they may aim to compete before rather than later. Ingram has not yet made his Raptor’s debut, but the team has still promising young talents such as Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick.

RJ Barrett (concussion protocol) and Jakob Poeltl (right hip pointer) will also be out of lineup for Toronto.

Sixers has a great opportunity to pick up not only one win but two, in this favorable back-to-back stretch. Let’s see if they can start it on the right foot.
