J.J. Redick Scores 22 Points Against Orlando

Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick's time as a sixth man appears to be over after the team's acquisition of Jimmy Butler, and the veteran sharpshooter is already making the most of his expanded role.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/14/18): NBA DFS Lineups

An 11-game slate is just what we needed after last night's measly 3-game slate. The options seem almost endless, but there are specific matchups that need to be exposed. The Wizards are still struggling across the board, the Magic are trending up but lack defensive firepower, and the Lakers-Trail Blazers is going to be the […]

Markelle Fultz Heads to The Bench

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz will come off the bench versus the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The addition of Jimmy Butler might've killed off all hopes of Fultz returning to the starting lineup this season. J.J. Redick makes more sense with alongside Butler, so that's what head coach Brett Brown is going to use for […]

Jimmy Butler is Starting on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler will make his Sixers debut on Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic. He'll join Ben Simmons, J.J. Redick, Wilson Chandler and Joel Embiid in the starting five. This is likely going to be the starting lineup that the Sixers continue to roll with for the foreseeable future. Butler is a safe […]

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony has likely played his last game as a member of the Rockets.

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (nose) scored 13 points with eight rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers in 27 minutes against the Miami Heat on Monday.

Furkan Korkmaz Making The Most Of His Opportunity

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Furkan Korkmaz scored a career-high 16 points on Monday, making 5-for-9 shots from the field, including 3-for-6 from deep. Korkmaz was also able to tie a career-high with four rebounds and provide one steal on the night. The 76ers don't have a ton of wing options, so his quality production does open […]

Markelle Fultz Struggles On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz scored five points on 2-for-8 shooting on Monday night against the Miami Heat, adding in two rebounds and five assists. Fultz had been trending in the right direction over his previous few contests, but this game does have him take a backward step in his maturation process. He attempted an […]

Ben Simmons Effective On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons scored 13 points on 5-for-7 shooting from the field, adding in seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal. Simmons is averaging 17.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 7.2 assists in his previous five contests, but he will be asked to play off the ball more with Jimmy Butler arriving in Philadelphia. […]

Joel Embiid Posts Another Huge Line

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid continued his scorching pace, recording 35 points with 18 rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers on an astounding 16-for-20 from the charity stripe. Embiid has now taken 17.3 attempts per game from the line in his past three contests and has found a way to manufacture points with ease. The […]

Landry Shamet Moves Back to The Bench

Philadelphia 76ers guard Landry Shamet will move back to the bench for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He started on Saturday and played 43 minutes, but went 2-of-13 from the floor. It doesn't sound like newly acquired Jimmy Butler will be in Philly until Wednesday. Shamet would still be heavily involved off the bench […]

Mike Muscala is Available on Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (nose) is available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He broke his nose on November 7, but appears ready to return.

Wilson Chandler Out Against Grizzlies

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler (rest, hamstring) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Chandler is still recovering from a hamstring injury and isn't quite ready to play in back-to-back sets, but he did have his minutes increased to 15 for the last two games. It is not ideal timing for […]

Dario Saric Gets Traded To Minnesota

The Minnesota Timberwolves have acquired forward Dario Saric from the Philadelphia 76ers. The 76ers were never seriously mentioned in the Jimmy Butler sweepstakes, so this move is pretty surprising. It will be interesting to see how Minnesota coach Tom Thibodeau uses Saric going forward, but it is likely that he will slide right into the […]

Robert Covington Gets Traded To Minnesota

The Minnesota Timberwolves have acquired forward Robert Covington from the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers will be sending two of their starting forwards to Minnesota for Jimmy Butler, who has finally forced his way out of Minnesota's organization.

Jimmy Butler Heading To Philly

The Philadelphia 76ers have acquired guard/forward Jimmy Butler from the Timberwolves. In exchange, Minnesota will receive forwards Robert Covington and Dario Saric along with a 2022 second-round pick. The 29-year-old will now head back East in a move that will undoubtedly make the Sixers a contender. If Butler can stay healthy and free of off-the-court […]
