What you need to know about the Pistons

The San Antonio Spurs didn’t do too well this season, but they did enough to beat the Pistons 121-109 on Friday. Small forward Bojan Bogdanovic (21 points) and shooting guard Jaden Ivey (20 points) were Detroit’s top scorers. It was his line of free throws that the Pistons leveled off, and he shot a dismal 58.8% off Charity’s stripes.

Rookie center Yaren Duren is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game and will be a blow to the Pistons if they can’t get things done without Embiid on the court. scored a total of 29 points and had a total of 31 rebounds in his final three. Bogdanovic was the Pistons’ most consistent offensive player (he had 21 points per game), but the 76ers shut him out in the previous game, leaving him with just 10 points.

What you need to know about the 76ers

Philadelphia’s final game against the Bulls on Friday wasn’t entirely a blowout, but it was certainly a disappointment as it ended in a 126-112 loss. Maxxie was one of the 76ers’ only bright spots after scoring 26 points and his six assists. Tobias Harris had 11 rebounds and 22 points, while James Harden had 17 points and 11 assists.

The 76ers should keep trying to make up for Embiid’s absence with outside shots. Over the past five games, the 76ers have made 40% of his 3-point attempts and 50% of his shots from 16 to 24 feet from the basket. Without Embiid, Montrez his Harrell has averaged over 25 minutes in the last two games, averaging 18 points and he has 4.5 rebounds. He also recorded his four blocks Wednesday against Indiana.
