The Philadelphia 76ers are engaged in a heated Eastern Conference matchup against a struggling Detroit Pistons team.

The Philadelphia 76ers are looking to finally make a deep playoff run in the 2023-24 season. So far, the Sixers look pretty good and have the assets to improve their roster. But they know they have work to do and that they still have to go through good teams like the Boston Celtics, who have […]

It is an understatement to call Philadelphia 76ers guard Patrick Beverley a “character.” NBA fans know his outspoken personality and colorful antics well by now. Although he is undoubtedly one of the most polarizing players in the league, the 35-year-old is unabashedly himself. Beverley showed as much on Monday following a Sixers’ win. Philly cruised […]

Joel Embiid has been in the middle of the process for a long time now. The Philadelphia 76ers have given him star-caliber teammates, a ton of draft capital for trades, and all the resources he needs to thrive. He has been paying them back slowly and surely with his performances in recent years. But, he […]

After going down to the wire with the Washington Wizards less than a week ago, the Philadelphia 76ers demolished them in a huge home victory. The Sixers nearly won by 50 points, settling for a 146-101 win. Joel Embiid (34 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, two steals) and Tyrese Maxey (24 points, six assists) completely […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers are exploring the options they have on their roster now that everyone is ready to go. Nick Nurse’s decisions will ultimately leave a few guys out to dry with fewer minutes than they deserve. Robert Covington is one of the Sixers squeezed out of regular minutes by the lineup crunch. […]

The Philadelphia 76ers (15-7) looked to make it three straight wins as they faced the Washington Wizards (3-19) for the second time in three games. The Sixers did just that as they cruised to victory. It was just too easy for them as their beatdown ended with a final score of 146-101. Let’s break down […]

The very first NBA In-Season Tournament champion has been crowned. LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have left Las Vegas with some new hardware and a nice bag of cash to spend however they like, but the key takeaway for this team from the in-season tournament is that they are still threats in the […]

Joel Embiid has been one of the best players in the league for the Philadelphia 76ers for the past half-decade. Unfortunately, the Sixers have repeatedly come up short in the playoffs throughout the Joel Embiid era, and they appear to be stuck in the dreaded no-man’s land of second-round exits and occasional conference finals appearances […]

We’re here with another prediction and pick for today’s NBA action as we head over to the Eastern Conference for this next game between teams on opposite ends of the standings. The Washington Wizards (3-18) will take on the Philadelphia 76ers (14-7) for their third meeting of the season. Check out our NBA odds series for our Wizards-76ers prediction […]

When the Philadelphia 76ers drafted Tyrese Maxey in 2020, projections for the young guard were all over the place. While his electric athleticism, blazing speed and silky smooth floater were easily projectable to the NBA, Maxey’s three-point shot needed significant work after he hit less than 30% of those shots in college. There was hope […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers have their revamped roster fully available for the first time since the trade that brought four new players into the mix. Nick Nurse has a lot of players who deserve playing time but only so many spots to go around. The juggling act he and the coaching staff do will […]

The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Washington Wizards on Monday night but the question remains of whether Joel Embiid will play. The Sixers’ big man tweaked his left knee during Friday night’s win over the Atlanta Hawks but played the rest of the game to secure another close win. After the game, Embiid said […]

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Atlanta Hawks at home but it wasn’t a very reassuring victory. The Sixers won 125-114 but made it about as hard as they possibly could have against a Hawks team missing Trae Young due to illness. Joel Embiid tallied 38 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and three assists while Tyrese […]

PHILADELPHIA — Tyrese Maxey recorded 30 points, seven assists and zero turnovers in the Philadelphia 76ers’ win over the Atlanta Hawks. Although his final stat line was nice, it wasn’t the most outstanding game from the Sixers guard. Maxey turned it on late in the game to help the Sixers win a shootout they shouldn’t […]

PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid had another fantastic game that saved the Philadelphia 76ers from an embarrassing loss. But the Sixers’ 125-114 win over the Atlanta Hawks did include an injury scare to Embiid’s knee. As he drove on Clint Capela late in the game, Embiid stumbled and landed awkwardly on his left leg. From that […]

It’s no secret the New York Knicks want to either sign or trade for a big-name star to help them go from fringe contender to legitimate title contender. And for the last couple of years, they’ve been linked to Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid as his squad fail to reach the Promised Land. However, […]

The Philadelphia 76ers (14-7) took on the Atlanta Hawks (9-12) without Trae Young.

Sixers player notes: Joel Embiid: 38 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks, 12-24 […]

PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid’s dominance has continued as he again leads the NBA in scoring and has the Philadelphia 76ers playing very good basketball. Patrick Beverley is loving what he sees from the Sixers center, especially now that he’s a teammate of his. Marcus Morris Sr. is in his 13th NBA season (and first with […]

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers have gotten off to a relatively strong start to the 2023-24 NBA season in their first bit of action since firing head coach Doc Rivers this past offseason. Rivers was much maligned within the Sixers fanbase over the last couple of seasons due to early playoff exits, and Philadelphia […]

CAMDEN, N.J. — Joel Embiid is fresh off another masterclass performance after dropping 50 points in a win over the Washington Wizards. The Sixers’ big man bulldozed his way to the half-century mark with ease. Even for a 13-year veteran like Marcus Morris Sr., his level of dominance is hard to fathom. Morris has played […]

CAMDEN, N.J. — When the Philadelphia 76ers hired Nick Nurse as head coach, the expectation was that they would be running and gunning, playing with a high pace and shooting a high volume of three-pointers. The former is progressing that way, as the Sixers are around league average in pace after being in the bottom […]

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Joel Embiid wore his typical #21 for the Philadelphia 76ers as he led them to a close win over the Washington Wizards with a 50-point game. But it would have been more appropriate for him to wear a big red “S” with the way he saved the day for the Sixers. The […]

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Kelly Oubre Jr. is officially back for the Philadelphia 76ers. The high-flying forward made his return after missing 11 games and played a key part in a 131-126 win over the Washington Wizards.

After a four-day break, the Philadelphia 76ers (13-7) took on the Washington Wizards (3-17). With a fully healthy team for the first time in a while, the Sixers played next to no defense for most of the game but still came away with the win by a score of 131-126. Let’s break down a Sixers […]

The NBA season carries on with a week seven matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards. Our NBA odds series continues with a 76ers-Wizards prediction and pick.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — After missing the Philadelphia 76ers’ previous game, Nicolas Batum should be back in the lineup. The Sixers did not list the veteran forward on the injury report ahead of their upcoming matchup with the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena. Batum has dealt with a sprain to his right index finger that […]

The Philadelphia 76ers will face the Washington Wizards after four days off.
