On Sunday we saw a display of offensive excellence by a team that’s been severely handicapped on that end of the floor over the past couple of months. The 76ers dominated the LA Clippers 121-107 in the early tip-off yesterday, connecting on 53% of their field goal attempts and on 18 of 37 threes. Proper ball movement can do wonders for a team and yesterday’s game was a prime example of that as Philly finished the game with 32 assists. They’ll look to repeat that performance tonight at Sacramento, against a team they’ve beaten 10 games in a row. Playing at the Golden 1 Center has been a joy for years now, the 76ers are 13-2 ATS in their last 15 visits. However, it is worth pointing out that Philadelphia is only 6-6 in 12 games with no rest this year.
Fresh off of their 3-game road trip which was capped off with a unlikely win at Orlando, the Kings are looking to win their 6th game in 8 outings here. De’Aaron Fox led the scoring with 31, while Domantas Sabonis contributed his usual 21 and 14 rebounds. Pressure is on Sacramento here as they’re currently in a 3-way battle for the 6th seed with Phoenix and Dallas, so a win here would definitely help their case of avoiding the play-in tournament. A team led by Mike Brown is definitely aware of that run the 76ers are on in head-to-head meetings, so there won’t be a lack of motivation on the Kings’ end to win this game. Philadelphia came out on top 112-93 in the first meeting this season, Tobias Harris was the unlikely hero with 37 points in that game.
