The Philadelphia 76ers did their part last night, securing a comfortable 120-102 victory over the Detroit Pistons for their sixth straight victory. They even gave Tyrese Maxey and Kyle Lowry the night off in the process. Well done.

They need some help. Let’s take a look at yesterday’s results and what we should be rooting for tonight.
Note: All commentary below will operate under the assumption that the Sixers win their last two games.
