The Sixers have dropped six of their last seven games amidst a West Coast trip. In terms of who’s been on their schedule, it’s been a brutal draw, given that Joel Embiid remains out, due to health and safety protocols. There are no easy wins when it comes to this undermanned Sixers team, but facing the Sacramento Kings tonight might be exactly what the squad needs to bounce back and tread water in the Eastern Conference standings.
At 6-11, the Kings sit 21st in net rating (minus-1.5 points per 100 possessions). They’re coming in limping more than the Sixers themselves, having lost seven of their last eight in their own right.
