Philadelphia is hard without motivation
The 66ers looked good in the regular season, are now third in the East and guaranteed a playoff spot. The safety margin clearly relaxed the players, which may explain 4 defeats in 5 matches. In the last meeting, the team lost to the leader of the West – Denver Nuggets – 111:116, this meeting was missing the leader of Philadelphia Joel Embiid, who may miss this meeting.
The Mavericks were eliminated from the playoffs
Dallas is on the verge of defeat, finishing 11th in the conference. Behind in additional indicators from Oklahoma tenth. In the last meeting, the Mavericks confidently defeated Indiana with a score of 127: 104, which allowed them to break a four-game losing streak. Dallas must finish at least tenth or it will be a failure. Kleber will miss the upcoming fight due to a hamstring injury
