Tonight, the Philadelphia 76ers continue to work their way down through the 2018 Rookie of Year balloting with their preseason home opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Sixers’ preseason got off a strong start Monday night against old frenemy Ben Simmons and the Brooklyn Nets. In his return to the court following a year-and-a-half layoff, Ben was the same player as always, in ways both good and bad. Meanwhile, despite sitting Joel Embiid, James Harden, and P.J. Tucker, Philadelphia won the contest, 127-108, led by 20 points in 14 points from young dynamo Tyrese Maxey. I think he secretly went ahead and got two percent better every day.
