The Sixers have now won four straight games to take them to 4-1 for the new season. Now that the James Harden trade is behind them, the vibes only seem to be improving. Nick Nurse is implementing some positive changes, returning players like Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris are thriving, and some of the team's new additions are already exceeding expectations.
Next, as the Sixers look to extend their win streak to five on Monday night, they'll be up against the 1-4 Wizards, who currently sit dead last in the Eastern Conference.
The Sixers started slow in Saturday's 112-100 win against the short-handed Suns — much like their opponent.
