The Philadelphia 76ers are entering their game against the Brooklyn Nets at 7:30 p.m. gravely shorthanded. Philadelphia could be without five of its seven leading scorers, with Paul George listed as questionable due to a sprained right ankle. The 76ers’ depleted roster naturally increases Jared McCann’s offensive responsibility, and it’s just what he needs.
McCain must exploit Brooklyn’s poor defense
The sophomore struggled to find his footing early on, but has come alive as of late, recording 15 points in his last two games. The Nets serve as a quality opportunity for McCain to build on his newfound momentum.
