Boston Celtics

Jaylen Brown has had an amazing start to this 2020-2021 season. He has averaged 25 points a game, under 4 assists, and a little under 6 assists per game. Stamina will come into play for Jaylen in the long run when considering he is averaged 33 minutes a game. Watch out for Jaylen and the minutes he logs as he continues to take on an expanded role with the Celtics.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers started out 7-1, and were flying high! Flying high, until they ran into COVID-19. It started with Seth Curry and then moved throughout the organization. The Sixers found themselves without as many as 8 players for recent games. After a loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday night and a postponed Sunday game against the Thunder… the 76ers are back in action.
Ben Simmons is still struggling in the points department averaging only 12 points per game. However, he does make up for the lack of points by averaging 8 assists – 9 rebounds – 1.5 steals – 1 block per game.
Meanwhile, Joel Embiid is having an MVP candidate season. He is averaging 25 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1.5 blocks per game.
Keep your eyes glued to the Simmons & Embiid dynamic duo tonight.
