In the last three games, the Philadelphia 76ers have shown resilience, securing two wins against the Washington Wizards and Brooklyn Nets, while suffering a loss to the Phoenix Suns. Their ability to bounce back from a defeat with a commanding 123-94 win over the Nets showcases their potential to dominate when firing on all cylinders. Tyrese Maxey has been a standout performer, averaging 25.5 points per game, and his strong offensive rating of 111.3 suggests he will be a key player to watch. The New Orleans Pelicans, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing two out of their last three games, including a tough loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Despite these setbacks, they managed a solid victory against the Wizards. Zion Williamson’s average of 22.57 points per game, combined with a robust offensive presence, will be critical if the Pelicans hope to upset the odds. However, their defensive issues are evident, with high defensive ratings across their starting lineup, suggesting vulnerabilities that the 76ers could exploit.
