Not helping the cause is the loss of corners Gavin Holmes and JJ Roberts to the transfer portal. Missouri doesn’t have a high-powered passing game, and losing top target Dominic Lovett to the portal hurts, but it’s 5-0 when throwing for more than 220 yards. Melton, who is averaging 11.0 points and 3.3 assists, extended the NBA's longest active streak of games with multiple steals to seven. While Toronto beat Philly earlier in the season, the team that played like that is nowhere close to the product they put on the floor early in the season.
In his stead, Matisse Thybulle will join the starting five while Danuel House and Georges Niang are candidates to see extended run off the bench. Thybulle will replace Tobias Harris -- who will not play -- in the starting lineup. He has averaged 5.5 points and 2.5 rebounds across 23.9 minutes in four starts this season. Harris was a late addition to the injury report Friday and was initially listed as questionable due to back pain. However, the veteran forward has since been downgraded to out, paving the way for Matisse Thybulle to enter the starting lineup. Danuel House and Georges Niang are also candidates for increased roles in Harris' absence.
March Schedule
Lee scored at least 20 points for a seventh straight game and grabbed a season-high 11 rebounds en route to his second double-double of the campaign. Across 12 appearances, the 23-year-old is averaging 23.9 points, 6.0 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 34.6 minutes per game. All-Star center Joel Embiid led Philadelphia across the board with 19 points, six rebounds and six assists, and Shake Milton scored 14 points. The 76ers had their three-game win streak snapped in the opener of a three-game trip. Averaging over 33 points per game, Embiid will feast against Nick Nurse’s team.
Will not play in Friday's game against Golden State, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports. Will start at small forward in Friday's game against the Warriors, Austin Krell of USA Today reports. He needed 11 trips to the charity stripe to reach that plateau Friday, finishing one shy of his season high in free-throw attempts.
Philadelphia 76ers - Schedule
He's averaging 38.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per game across six December appearances. Harris was a late addition to the injury report and ultimately sat out Friday's win over the Warriors due to back pain. It allowed well over 1,500 yards in its final three games of the season, it’s not doing much against anyone who wants to throw, and it gave up 30 points or more in its last five games. 76ers G De'Anthony Melton was acquired from Memphis to add depth off the bench, but has started 12 games since Harden was hurt. Cleveland shot a scorching 94.1% in the second quarter and scored 44 points, two shy of its franchise record, to carry a advantage into the break. Mobley went 8 of 10 from the field in the first half, soundly outplaying Embiid.
Is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Warriors due to back pain. This site is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with these schools or teams. The Missouri defense that was so great this season will be without a few key pass rushers – Isaiah McGuire opting out really hurts – and will miss a little depth in the secondary. When it does allow fewer, it’s usually because the offense on the other side is too busy running. Mizzou has to balance out the attack, do what it does to control the clock, and the defense that’s so good on third downs and so good at getting into the backfield has to be fired up from the start.
rs' Matisse Thybulle: Starting Friday
The Toronto Raptors have lost eight of their last 10 games and are on the verge of entirely falling out of the Eastern Conference postseason picture. The latest Raptors odds have that streak continuing, as Toronto is projected to get flattened by a division rival. More fans are expected to be allowed to attend Flyers and 76ers games early next month. Coach Stephen Silas shared that holding the proper practices on the road was challenging due to time restrictions when using the opposing team's venue. More practice time on their homecourt could lead to the Rockets' development trending in the right direction. When the Sixers take the floor once again on Friday night to host the Los Angeles Lakers, the team will remain shorthanded.
Precious Achiuwa and Otto Porter Jr. are both out for this game, while O.G. A conflict between Furkan Korkmaz and three Georgian players happened in EuroBasket 2022 with Turkey even threatening to leave the tournament because of it. Almost a week had passed since the season had come to an end and James Harden still wasn’t returning anyone’s calls. @DrewDinkmeyer and I are breaking down all the injury news for today’s slate. Yikes — Wolves were up and had the ball with 12 seconds left in the third quarter.
Missouri is a bit more used to the bowl life– this is the 34th for the program, going starting with a loss to USC in the 1924 Los Angeles Christmas Festival. However, it lost its last three including both of the chances under head coach Eliah Drinkwitz. The Tigers don’t have a bowl win since beating Minnesota in the 2014 Citrus – the loss to Army in last year’s Armed Forces Bowl hurt. A good bowl team under head coach Dave Clawson,Wake Forest is 4-2 in the post-season in its last six, coming off a blasting of Rutgers in last season’s Gator.
Their lone victory came Friday night in a comeback victory against the Phoenix Suns inside the Footprint Center. The 76ers had a few days to review the game film of their recent matchups and get back on the practice floor to re-group. While a few days off was positive for the Sixers, who are working on getting healthy, the team’s recent setbacks made it difficult for everybody to get on the floor for practice. Tyler Herro scored a career-high 41 points with 10 3P made last night. Embiid and Harden played the entire first quarter, Warriors are without Steph and Draymond, Harden went off for 15 on 8 shots and yet Sixers still trail Golden State after 1. Christian Wood scored 20 points off the bench in the first half tonight, marking his first 20-point half with the Mavs.
Over the last few weeks, the Sixers have proven they can adjust and snag victories while shorthanded. Now, the team continues to search for ways to win with two-thirds of their star trio back on the floor together. On the Crossover, the great @Jake Fischer joins me to discuss the (contrived/overhyped) NBA Trade Season, which teams/players we’ve got our eyes on and whether parity might mess it all up. DiVincenzo made his first 5 shots from deep and has 15 points, the most he’s scored in any quarter in his career.
Even squads with tons of injuries are coming into Toronto and picking up wins. "Playing in different time zones, even if you are not playing sports, traveling can still take a toll on you. It's good to be back home and regroup." Unfortunately, four quarters and two additional overtime periods weren’t enough time for the Sixers to put the Rockets away on Monday.
If he can't go, Matisse Thybulle, Danuel House and Georges Niang are candidates to receive extended minutes. Embiid has been nearly unstoppable this season and has been one of the most dominant offensive forces in the league when healthy. Even though Kevon Looney did everything he could to stop him, Embiid still reached the 30-point plateau for the sixth straight contest, and he also has four double-doubles in that span.
The program is 10-6 all-time in bowls with 13 of them played after 2000. Missouri needed a win over Arkansas in the regular season finale just to get here,and now it needs a victory to finish with a winning campaign. It’s missing some big players on defense – more on this later – and the offense has to be consistent, but the team is great at controlling the clock and the defense should still be okay. But against the Philadelphia 76ers Monday night, the Rockets will play eight of their next nine games inside the Toyota Center. Their lone road match comes on Thursday when the Rockets travel to San Antonio to face the Spurs before embarking on a seven-game homestand from Dec. 11 - Dec. 23. Harris was a late addition to the injury report due to back soreness and will end up missing Friday's contest.
