Matchup Breakdown
Philadelphia 76ers Outlook
Tyrese Maxey averages 32 points per game, ranking among the league’s top scorers. He posted 31 in the loss to Detroit but shot just 42%. Andre Drummond adds rebounding stability, while VJ Edgecombe provides perimeter shooting. The Sixers rank 11th in scoring (119.2 ppg) and 6th in three-point percentage (38.3%). Their ability to score efficiently at home is their path to victory.
Los Angeles Clippers Outlook
James Harden has averaged 34 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 8.8 assists over his last four games, including 37 against Boston. Ivica Zubac anchors the paint with 16 points and 12 rebounds in the loss. The Clippers rank 11th in FG% (47.8%) and 5th in free throw percentage, giving them efficiency in close contests. Turnovers and rebounding remain their biggest weaknesses.
Key Matchup / Path to Victory
The Sixers must avoid offensive lulls and capitalize on Maxey’s scoring while controlling the boards. The Clippers need Harden to continue his hot streak and Zubac to limit second-chance points. Execution in the fourth quarter will determine whether Philadelphia covers or Los Angeles keeps it tight.
