James Harden Fails To Deliver In Game 6
Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden had a miserable showing during the loss to Miami on Thursday.

It was a great night for my underdog picks last night! Not only did the Bucks and Grizzlies cover, but they both won outright, albeit in very different fashions. The Bucks won by only three points in the final minute while the Grizzlies absolutely rolled up the Warriors by 39 points in a blowout. That's […]
Matisse Thybulle Questionable Against Miami
Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (foot) is questionable ahead of Thursday's playoff battle against Miami. The 25-year-old is dealing with a sore left foot. However, considering he's averaged just 2.8 points during the series, he likely won't draw much interest from DFS managers if he plays. However, Thybulle is a menace on the defensive end, […]
Matisse Thybulle Tagged As Questionable For Game 6
Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 6 matchup against the Miami Heat.

His defensive stats are also down, which means Thybulle […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (concussion, face, thumb) is currently listed as out on the league's official injury report heading into Friday's playoff matchup versus Miami.

Tyrese Maxey Scores 34 Points In Losing Effort
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has been incredible for this team all season long. He stepped up nicely during Game 2 versus the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Maxey hit 12-of-22 shots for 34 points and three rebounds in 43 minutes. It's great to see Maxey playing this well, but it's not enough to keep the […]
