Second night of a back-to-back, with the second game on the road. We are 3-3, the 76ers are 2-3. Should be a good one.

Kemba Walker is averaging 30.8 per game, with Monk well behind at 12.2. For Philadelphia, Embiid averages 29.6 and J.J. Redick 21.2.

He's listed as "questionable" with a sore ankle suffered yesterday, so it could be one of those game-time decisions.

Second game of a back-to-back weekend in the first two weeks of the season, they should definitely rest him. 100% definitely should rest him.

They should probably rest Simmons too just to be safe, those foot injuries can be tricky. Yeah, he's been healed for over a year now, but you just never know. Could get a rock in his shoe mid-game and boom, it's over. Don't risk it Philly.

Its not completely hopeless because they are forcing Fultz as a starter.

Tony is resting this game so I hear Graham will see some minutes tonight. Thats good we haven't really seen much of him. I think he will be a stud.

0-4 against this team last year. They have weapons all over. We are going to have to start hot and finish hot.

Excited to see Graham. Monk is going to look interesting playing alongside an uptempo point guard. The whole second unit is going to break well I think.

Don't know for what he is ready, but at the 1st time out, Borrego yelled at him when he went to the bench after that Saric bucket following his off board.

I don't like either him (nor Batum, or Monk) as starter at the sg spot. Need some plus defender here, more than ever.

Glad to see that Graham is taking his chance and rewarded.

Asking a SG to guard a PF 6 feet from the basket is almost never going to end good.

this lineup is the one we need to keep Willy + DG + Monk + MKG + Bridges
