The Philadelphia 76ers are tired.

Philadelphia’s offense has sputtered while its third-quarter struggles remain detrimental to its win total. The 76ers started the season with four straight wins but have since fallen to 8-6. Philadelphia will have played four sets of back-to-back games – largely without Joel Embiid and Paul George – after facing the Milwaukee Bucks at 8 p.m. EST. Given these circumstances, the 76ers deserve some grace.
