Philadelphia 76ers is set to take on San Antonio Spurs in NBA 2021-22 on Saturday, 08 January 2022 at 05:30 AM IST

Till early November, the 76ers had the best record in the Eastern Conference but then Joel Embiid’s COVID-19 induced absence caused a rupture to the 76ers’ offensive and defensive schemes.

The team became a 50% win squad from a 70% win squad and lost around 80% of the games without him.

Now, with him back, Curry and Harris also healthier, the 76ers have found their groove. The squad has notched five straight wins and continues to be a formidable unit with Embiid in the lineup, winning more than 65% of games when he has been around.

Now, the next step for the 76ers is to win more against elite squads and make sure that they once again return to the elite squad status, something which they can do with the core of Curry, Embiid, Harris, and Maxey

Spurs remained largely free from the COVID-19 threat as late as the third week of December but for around the last 10 days, their campaign has taken a severe hit.

First, Murray went down with the vicious virus, and when he went down, the team lost four in a row, as he is the leader in terms of scoring, rebounding, playmaking, and perimeter defense.

But with Keldon, White, Vassell, and McDermott hurt, the team has lost three 14+ scorers and a 10+ points threat.

With them gone, it is a must that Lonnie Walker IV returns to the action as he can act as a primetime scorer too.

Still, with Forbes, Murray, Poeltl, Tre Jones, Bates-Diop, and potentially a returning Lonnie Walker IV, the team can deploy decent perimeter shooting although they can be hurt on both ends.
