The 76ers have a very tough schedule to start the season and come out of it undeafted its a great start to the year for the 76ers.
76ers 114 - Cavs 90
Isaiah Thomas shoots only 3 of 11 for 13 points as the 76ers win easily. Ben had similar numbers to game 1 with 28 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assist and 4 steals. Embiid had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assist.
76ers 95 - Raptors 76
The wings for the 76ers once again play lock down defense as Derozan goes a pitiful 1 for 13 with 6 points and Lowry only 2 of 6 for 5 points. Ben goes for 18 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assist and Saric had 16 points and 12 rebounds.
76ers 115 - Celtics 94
Irving played well with 22 points and 6 assist, but that wasn’t enough to make it a close game. With Al Horford still injured Mohamed Bamba had 17 points and 10 rebounds. Embiid was a monster down low with 25 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assist and 3 blocks. Fultz also had a good game with 19 points and 9 assist.

NBA News & Notes
The timberwolves get off to 5-0 start with the addition of #2 pick Zion Williamson.
The two winless teams are the Grizzles and Kings
The PF spot for the Thunder take a hit as Patrick Patterson is out 4-6 weeks so a lot of pressure on Jacob Wiley.
Hornets SG Malik Monk will be out 2-4 weeks
The Rockets suffered a major injury as Rudy Gay is out 6-8 weeks. They now have to start 71 overall P.J Tucker at SF, which is never a good thing. As you would expect they are trying to find a trade just with it being so early in the season it’s going to be tough. The only salaries they can offer that are expiring are 8 million and 21 million. A few names we hear are Nic Batum (hornets). Evan Turner (bulls) or Danilo Gallinaro (clippers). We don’t expect those teams to give up on the season just yet and the Rockets don’t want to trade young PF Chinanu Onuako. So they may just have to tough it out for 2 months.
The magic are off to 4-1 start with rookie Romeo Langford scoring 20.2 points per game
